Spondylolisthesis
What spondylolisthesis means, how grading affects your program, and why stability — not mobility — is the priority.
Spondylolisthesis is the anterior (forward) slipping of one vertebra on the vertebra below it. The word comes from Greek: spondylos (vertebra) + olisthesis (sliding). The result is a spine that has a step-off at one level instead of a smooth continuous curve.
