How do I live well with spondylosis?

Spondylosis is the general wear and tear of the spine over time - bone, discs and joints all change. Many people have it without much pain; when it does hurt, it is usually stiffness and reduced movement that limit you.

The goal is to keep the spine unloaded and the joints moving. Decompression in straps creates space and relieves pressure, and gentle stretches maintain the range of motion that stiffness steals.

Consistency matters more than intensity. Begin at the easiest level with a trainer and keep your doctor in the loop.
