    Hi.
    I also have spondylolisthesis. I got the pain under control with a Physio, and started gentle exercise and a little bit of Yoga. The Physio gave me stretching and strength exercises. Once I felt stronger, and the pain wasn't as intense I started running again. I can now run 5km.
    I still have days when it flairs up, but the pain isn't as bad and doesn't last as long.

    I am hoping to increase my running as my fitness gets better.

    good luck!
