Recommend Exercises For Patients With Syringomyelia
Hi. I have severe Syringomyelia from C 1 all the way to the lower lumbar area. I also have several bulging discs through throughout my spinal cord. I am now 50, slightly overweight and trying to get that under control. I cannot do any exercises that accelerate my heart because of the cysts from the disease so I am trying to figure out any exercises that will firm up my body without doing that. So the question is do you know of any exercise plans I can do at home? I do not have access to a pool either so that is out. Thank you for any help.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the spinal disk disease that you exercise may not be advisable, at the most aerobic exercise can be tried, but best is to have opinion from the physiotherapist because passive exercise would be benefited, hope this information helps.
