What excercises can i do with a ruptured disc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
McKensie: The best exercises are those that keep the back in a hyperextension or extension state. Mckensie exercises are the best known for ruptured disc/herniated disc injuries with pressure on the adjacent nerve root. In any circumstance, do not put the back into a flexion state (bending forward).
