After shirodhara you can do exercise, but not too much effort giving methods you can avoid.
Because after procedure you need rest as physical and mentally then only you can get proper result.
Your wife is taking Basti karma.
It's decoction enima /oil enima.
Or Basti in the joints.
Any way her procedure need complete rest.
Because depends on the condition, her doctor is recommended the treatment, and she is undergoing the procedure.
In enema procedure have restrictions for intake and external works.
So better she can avoid exercise.
After completion of procedure and rest she can start.

Stretching exercises are ok but in mild way with Sirodhara but avoiding running exercise will be good because your head should not get sweat
For your wife complete avoiding of exercise will be good
