For back physical therapy how many days a week should you swim?!
Question: For back physical therapy how many days a week should you swim.?
Answers:
Well your question is vague,as there's no definite number of days a week you need to swim when you have a back pain. First, you need to know what kind of back condition you have because there are indications and contraindications to swimming as part of therapy. There are certain movements of the spine you need to avoid when you have a condition that aggravates pain. Therefore you need those knowledge. If, however, you have a reason to believe that you have no spinal problem and you just wanna relax by swimming then I would recommend you to use a warm temperature pool and have a moderate swimming exercise at least a period of of 20 to 30 minutes. But then again there's no definite protocol as to how many minutes but I am just basing on the effect of warm water that usually occur at 20 minutes. If further questions and need and answer please clarify well your questions. ThanksHealth Question & Answer
