I have had T11&12 kyphoplasty with 12 months of PT following each . Consisted of core strengthening exercises using 1 ib weights, rowing with therma bands, door frame stretches, lying on stomach with leg lifts and arm lifts. Warm up on sitting stepper for 10 min fisrt. Ending session with either cold pack or heat depending on whether or not I was having paraspinal muscle spasms.

Thanks so much, Kpickowitz!
I've shown these to hubby, and hopefully he'll be able to do something like these, allowing for shortness of breath with exertion -- due to Pulmonary Fibrosis.
He'd like to know how many minutes did your sessions last, and for how many days per week?

Did this help you, was it painful?
