unable to sit

[spandanphysio]

Hello friends I have pt, 28 yr female having lumbar canal stenosis after she fell during pregnancy 3 yrs back. Right leg is involved. Symptoms get worsened progressively. She can't sit or walk even for 5 minutes when she came to me before 3 months. Standing time was 10-15 minutes also had repeated lower back pain. MRI which was taken 8 months back shows L5-s1,L3-L4 posterior disc prolapsed with pressure on thecal sac. I'm giving intermittent traction, lumbar spine flexion exs, neural tissue mobilization and core stabilization. Right now she is having occasional minor back ache and occasional radicular symptoms when she walks for very long distance or stands for prolonged periods of time. Her sitting time is 10-12 minutes only. After that she develops 'stretching in posterior side of right leg. She can sit for some more time if she puts both legs straight on a stool but when she stands she goes into moderate flexion for some time. So please share your opinions regarding this. What should be done to allow her to sit?
