Improves core : Pt will strengthen your core and often lessens pain. However, nothing outside of surgery will reduce the structural compression of nerves that comes from spinal stenosis.

Spinal Stenosis: The spinal stenosis won't get better on the MRI picture, however the pt can help your symptoms of stenosis, typically called 'neurogenic claudication' or buttock- and leg pain when standing and walking... Core strengthening and flexibility can really make a difference in ability to walk better with less pain and for some people a continued exercise program can keep them out of the or. Best of luck.
