Can I work out with cervical spondylosis?

Answered by: Ms Neeta Garg | Counsellor, Psychotherapist & Wellness expert,

Q: I am a 34-year-old woman suffering from cervical spondylosis. I would like to work out in the gym for overall health reasons. Is there any workout I should not do because of my neck condition?

You should not do any forward bending, whether from the torso or from the neck, either standing, sitting or lying down.

You should do no exercises for the trapezium muscles that lie in the neck: upright rows, shoulder shrugs and shoulder rolls.
