Just wondering if anyone has had this diagnosis? My wife aka (Mrs McLifter) has recently been diagnosed with Grade II Spondylolisthesis. This happens to be in her case the L4 has moved forward of the L5. The doctor stated this could have been present from birth but just recently has caused some stress for her.

Has anyone had any experience with this condition? How did you train around it? The information I've found so far recommends Physio and of course doing whatever you can manage. Just looking for any info.

Get this book

You basically have do lots of stabilization exercises and than throw some strength stuff over to, I like swings with a k bel or hungarian ass blaster personally, dead lifts or anything to keep the core strong.

This is a life time endeavour, she will have to keep on top of it or she will hurt, that simple.

My better half has the same issue although hers is L5 I believe slippage 50%

Deep tissue massage cleaned up a lot of hip disfunction that was exacerbating the problem
Hasn't stopped her from a career in firefighting


Stretching

KB swings

Cable pullthoughs

Overhead squats

Lighter front squat for volume work

Ab work via the reccomendations in Ultimate back fitness and performance by Stuart McGill PhD (on of the world best in spine and abdominal training/research)

ISBN # 0-9735018-0-4

It helped me and Tasha and anyone I know

Hope this helps

Cheers

Mike
