It depends on how the exercises are being performed, sometimes jerky and forceful movements along with incorrect alignment may lead to cramps. Moreover, adequate water intake and proper stretching exercises as a part of warm up is also important to prevent pain. Yes you should continue with your exercises but considering the above mentioned points.

There are several reasons for leg cramps, as she is already suffering with spondylolisthesis, there might be compressions and deficiencies of vitamins might be causing the cramps. Suggest you to check with the neurologist or ortho doc for proper assessment, avoid exercises which are causing cramps untill proper assesament is done.

Not a good idea to push into pain. Minimise cobra position if anterolisthesis and concentrate on knee to chest direction

If your mother is experiencing hip pain and leg cramp after exercise here's you can do few things 1. Stop Painful Exercises Temporarily. 2. Inform the Physiotherapist: Immediately inform her physiotherapist about the pain and cramps. 3. Ensure Proper Warm-Up and Stretching: Sometimes, inadequate warm-up or tight muscles can contribute to pain and cramping. 4. Hydration and Nutrition: Leg cramps can also occur due to dehydration or electrolyte imbalances (e.g., low potassium, magnesium). 5. Modify Exercise Technique: Incorrect form during exercises can put strain on the wrong muscles or joints, leading to pain. 6. Consider Gentle Alternatives. 7. Pain Management: If the pain persists, applying heat or cold therapy to the affected area and gentle stretching might help alleviate discomfort. Ultimately, it's essential to work closely with the physiotherapist.
