A member asked:

I was diagnosed with spondylolisthesis grade 2. which exercises are safe to perform?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

All: All are safe to perform but some may aggravate symptoms and may need to be modified or avoided if too painful. Most exercise programs for people with this condition aim at core strengthening, flexibility and cardiovascular routines. Generally, if weight lifting, squats and deadlifts should be avoided.
