Summary
Essential for the success of the therapy of a herniated disc in the cervical spine, in addition to the regular execution of an exercise program accompanying the physiotherapeutic treatment, is a conscious posture in everyday life and the avoidance of damaging positions that continue to put the disc under stress (as may be the case with the protraction). A targeted exercise program should be worked out and practiced with the therapist and self-perception should be trained. During physiotherapy, the active training can be extended by passive stretching and mobilisation techniques.
