Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
It is said that yoga and Pilates exercise helps in those having neural foraminal stenosis.

I suppose you are having problem in your lower back. Please find the link to exercise video given below. This is for spinal stenosis in the lower back.

For severe stenosis, the treatment of choice is surgical decompression of the nerve under pressure.

Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
