When you have radiating pain from a bulging or herniated disc, exercises like the cobra will likely reduce pain and numbness/tingling by taking pressure off the compressed nerve at its root. However, the cobra isn't appropriate for everyone with these symptoms.
Depending on your tolerance and symptom relief, the frequency of this exercise is: 5-10 press-ups, multiple times/day; or trying to hold the end-range position for up to 30-60s, multiple times/day.

At Silverbush Physical Therapy, patients work one-on-one with an experienced PT with expertise in their diagnosis. For us, one-on-one care means that you’re with one PT (no assistants/aides) the entire time. Each treatment session is patient and goal focused. Your goals are ours, and we work with you diligently to ensure they’re met or exceeded.
It’s not enough for us to help eliminate your pain and improve your function; we want to help you prevent a recurrence of injury and minimize wear and tear over time. Our highest priority is patient satisfaction - which is achieved by providing comprehensive treatment with individualized manual therapy and exercises.
