There are many effective exercise methods for lumbar disc herniation, mainly including: isometric contraction exercises for abdominal muscles and isometric contraction exercises for lumbar back muscles in the acute stage, and aerial cycling exercises, flying swallow exercises, and flat support in the recovery stage.
