Hello, my husband is a Veteran who goes to the VA for DDD lower back. He wants to do exercises but his job does not allow for time off for PT and the VA won t allow him to see a Physical Therapist for one day to get the exercises. What do you suggest he do from home?
Back strengthening exercises, include planks, leg raising, crunches, .aim is to strengthen back muscles (paravertebral muscles) to firmly support your spinal column... so u need a physiotherapist guidance initially regarding type of exercises and adjuvant therapies... rest you can do it from home ....special attention to avoid lifting weights, as it can worsen your avdp.
