What are the main exercises to avoid with a herniated disk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight lifting: In general, weight lifting . A rowing machine as well if having active symptoms. Weight lifting on a bench with smaller loads and higher reps may be ok if not reproducing pain but any dead lifts or squats should be avoided. Running is ok unless it aggravates symptoms.
