Swimming can help to build strength and prevent further injury

If walking is problemati­c, swimming or aquatic exercise is brilliant. It’s warm and the compressio­n of the water provides support to the joints. There is no jarring, yet the muscles can work moderately, or somewhat hard, to build up strength to protect your back from further injury. You can do a waterbased program recommende­d by your AEP or, if possible, join an aqua aerobics class.
