Confidence: Method practice

Spondylolisthesis means one vertebra sits slightly forward of the one below it. It can be silent for years, or it can leave the lower back tired and achy, especially after long standing or arching back. For most people the day-to-day discomfort comes not from the slip itself but from the muscles around it working overtime to hold everything steady - they never get a break.

How Gravity Stretching helps

Gravity Stretching gives those overworked muscles their break. Decompression of the body creates space and takes the pressure off, the guards around the area finally get to release, and slow, supported movement keeps everything mobile without forcing a single millimetre. the lianas hold your full weight, we start with a few seconds, and we never go through pain - the body is fully carried, and it feels it.

Tell your trainer about the spondylolisthesis beforehand and start with a one-on-one session at the gentlest level. Listen to your body: anything sharp or new means we pause and go even softer.
