Spinal stenosis is a medical condition that occurs when the space within the spinal column narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
This can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the arms and legs.
The most common symptoms are pain in the back and legs, which may get worse when you stand or walk.
There are many different treatments available for spinal stenosis, including physical therapy.
Physical therapy can help to improve flexibility, strength, and endurance. It can also help to improve balance and stability.
Therapists will often prescribe a range of exercises to help reduce pain and improve function.
Some of the exercises that might be prescribed include stretching exercises, strengthening exercises, and aerobic exercises.
It is important to do all of the exercises prescribed by your therapist, and to continue doing them even after you start feeling better.
This will help you to maintain your improvements long-term.
