Anyone doing this with neck/back pain or arthritis?

I have degenerative disks in my neck and upper back and when a nerve has been pinched in the past it hurt to even swallow my own spit. I have hired a PT for January 7th to help make sure I am doing the exercises corectly andd safely. I am just really terrified of hurting myself. Does anyone else have this problem?

Do the exercises have to be performed in the manner laid out? Are there alternatives to some of the exercises. The ones that scare me the most are when you are laying face up on the incline bench and lifting the waits up.

I really, really want to be able to do this.

Namaste, Kristine
