What exercises are suitable for people with cervical and lumbar spine problems?

Swimming and planking. Patients with cervical or lumbar spine problems can choose low-impact functional exercises such as swimming and side bridges performed in a lying position, which place relatively less stress on the spine. Heat therapy can also be applied to areas such as the neck and lower back. The method involves using a warm towel or hot water bag at around 55°C, applied directly to the lower back for continuous heat treatment lasting 15 minutes. Afterwards, stretching of muscles in the back of the neck and lower back can be performed.
