I am 61and have severe disk loss l5 s1 plus spondylosis..active170 lbsexercise regularly. have period back pain and mild sciatica. do i need to avoid lumbar extension movements across the board or still try to work them in occasionally?

If it hurts to do those movements, then you should avoid them. If it doesn’t cause discomfort, then you can probably do them gently. You could also consider physical therapy to show you what you can and cannot do based on your condition. Best of luck to you!
