Does stomach muscle tightening exercises help in reducing symptoms of mild l5 spondylolisthesis?

Yes: No treatment works 100% of the time, but strengthening the back and tummy (abdominal) muscles is helpful for many people with back problems.

Definitely: This is an excellent way to address spondylolisthesis. Core stabilization and strengthening along with pelvic floor and low back strengthening together are an excellent approach.
