Home Physical Therapy session 78 - Spondylolisthesis BJJ
Monday 5/29/2017.   
Updates:  Rib pain is almost gone.  I was able to make it thru all the core work today.

Side Planks:

3 sets on each side for a 30 seconds.  Still don't like them.     


Figure Four Stretch: 

3 sets each leg 60 second hold. 


1 leg bridge with 1 leg raises. 

 

While holding the bridge with one leg, the other leg did 25 leg raises.  3 sets of 25 reps for each leg. 

Mountain Climbers twist knee toward elbow:  

3 sets of 30 seconds each.  Hands on the ground - feet flat and pull my knees to chest repeatedly for 30 seconds bringing my knee to my outside elbow and bringing it across to my other side elbow. 





Plank. 

3 sets for 75 seconds each.  All 3 sets were from the elbows.




Hamstring door stretch 

3 sets of 1 minute stretch each leg.  Total of 3 minutes stretching per leg. 

Also while doing the hamstring door stretch I did a neck exercise. I lifted my head off the ground and turned my chin side to side shoulder to shoulder for 1 minute.  For the 2nd set I bring my head straight up and down.  3rd set I make a circle. 

3 sets of 1 minute each. 

Bridges with pelvic tilt hold.  3 sets of 35 reps where I press my low back into the table I hold the pelvic tilt and bridge lifting my hips off the table.    Overall increase of 15 reps. 

Hip ups:

3 set of 25 reps.  Pushing off the ground and raise my butt/hips off the ground like a reverse crunch.




Hamstring and groin stretch: 

3 sets for 1 minute each. 



Pelvic tilt crunches: 

1 set of 30. 
Lay flat with knees bent like the picture above.  Do a pelvic tilt and hold it continuously while you do 30 crunches slowly just to the point where your hands go over your knees.  This gave a good abdominal burn! 



Pelvic tilts:  

 

While lying on the floor I did a 5 minute pelvic tilt hold.  Occasionally I would relax back to normal for a seconds and then go back to the tilt hold.  This was for 5 minutes.   

Today's time - 43:29
