Hi Debbie,
Congratulations on your recovery. What a wonderful gift you have been given. I used to work in spinal cord rehabilitation. Your question is good I can tell you that “The oblique twister” is not part of my program but I would avoid this one. The pullover should be safe but if you were told not to do any overhead resistance training or any spinal extension then I would avoid it. The best person(s) to ask are the physiotherapist(s) that got you through the rehab. The level of your break or how many segments of your spine are immobilized to protect the original fracture site are also a consideration.
All the best.
Margaret

I work out on the Total Gym and wanted to know if it was safe for me to do 2 of the exercises
in the program namely:
1. oblique twister
2. pullover

Thank You!
Debbie
