A member asked:
If l3-s1 is fused, what movements are absolutely contraindicated? beyond forward flexion and twisting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No absolue contrindi: The limitation of movement depends on your tolerance and the point at which you experience pain during range of movement. That movement level is your limit in any direction of movement.
