Hello I am wondering if you can advise me or know of any sports or physical activity for people with herniated discs. I am trying to find the best fit for me. Any suggestions? Thanks
Yeah, go to a doctor. You can probably find lots of advice online, but you can never tell how educated it is. And though you can get away with bad advice on SOME things, putting your body at risk is not one of them.
You can explore options with your local doctor and gym. Most people will tell you to check with your doctor, and you should but you can also explore some suggestions so you have an idea what to ask the doctor about. Web MD is a good site to go to in order to ask questions and they are trustworthy.
You should ask a doctor about it... and while you are at it, ask them about swiming... my guess is that it would probably be good for it... but I am no doctor.
