Swimming Helps Back Pain

After 3 months of severe back pain I found the one thing that has removed nearly all of my pain, swimming. Find yourself a two week pass for your local gym. Try it to see if it will help you before you spend the money to join a gym. These two week passes are usually sent in the mail.

First ask your doctor and start out slowly. Don't kick your feet very hard in the beginning. If they have a hot tub, it helps to warm up in it. I went from not being able to walk, sit or drive a clutch three weeks ago (because of a bulging disc and sciatica), to being nearly pain free after swimming nearly every day. WOW!
