Video Summary
Irwina Kwan, a sports physical therapist, explains managing spondylolisthesis through physical therapy. The condition involves vertebrae slipping and often stems from repeated extension and rotation. Therapy focuses on avoiding these movements and strengthening the core. Patients are taught to find a neutral spine using a clock analogy. Techniques like the posterior pelvic tilt and exercises with a blood pressure cuff help maintain neutral spine control. Progressions include heel slides, arm reaches, dead bug exercises, and prone plank on a ball, emphasizing keeping the spine neutral and the core engaged to limit spine extension and rotation.
