After balneo treatment taken 1 month back, she is feeling seviour pain. Due to pain and numbness in left leg, she is not able to walk properly and leaned towers left while walking. Currently she walks slowly and improving slowly. Doctors have suggested light exercises but not prescribed any specific exercises. Doctors suggested to loose weight to help spine recover. previously gym exercises worsen the situation, please suggest some easy and effective exercises and some effective treatment
