“What exercise can I do to speed recovery and limit recurrence of my condition?” This is a very common question asked daily in my office. I will base the answer on each individual’s needs and availability to exercise equipment or fitness center or home.
This blog is to give you number 1 and number 2 of the proven best to enhance health and recovery.
Swimming remains number one. If you can swim for 20 minutes of continual motion 3 times a week or more, you will do best. It does not matter if you complete 1 lap or 20 laps in that 20 minutes, just keep moving. My patients that can swim and continue to swim, over my decades of practice, have in the long run (swim), done best.
Number 2 would be Yoga. It is difficult for many to get started and to get beyond the learning curve. Usually, 10 to 12 sessions. Once there, you will gain benefits that will keep you in a state of fitness to limit future episodes of back, neck or overall discomfort.
At our offices I will give you “homework” to do in the guise of yoga poses. This will get you started prior to seeking out a more formal class.
Swim is #1---Yoga is #2, all the rest are well below in benefit.
