A lot!: Lifestyle changes are important like not smoking, weight control and regular exercise. Exercise can include walking, elliptical and stairmaster machines to start and then increase it in terms of cardiovascular workouts combined with core strengthening and flexibility. Just avoid rotation/flexion combinations of movement and no free weights from the floor like squats or deadlifts. Pt can guide.
