Pool Exercises to Help Ease Back Pain

Feb 7

Do you suffer from back pain? If so, you're not alone. Many people experience back pain at some point in their lives. Fortunately, there are a number of exercises that can help ease the pain. In this blog post, we will discuss Some pool exercises that chiropractors approved that can help reduce back pain. These exercises are easy to do and can be done in any pool! We'll also talk about a few tools that you can use during these pool exercises.

On top of the list, we have the use of weights in the pool. Many people do not realize the benefits of using weights in water. When you use weights in water, it becomes much more difficult to move because of the resistance of the water. This makes your muscles work harder, which can help reduce back pain. In addition, using weights in water is a great way to improve your strength and flexibility. Chiropractors suggest these exercises to their patients who suffer from back pain.

Another great pool exercise for reducing back pain is swimming. Swimming is a great way to strengthen your core muscles, which can help reduce back pain. In addition, swimming is a low-impact exercise that is gentle on your joints. It is a great exercise for people of all ages and fitness levels.

If you are looking for an exercise that is a bit more challenging, consider doing water aerobics. Water aerobics is a great way to improve your cardiovascular fitness and strength. It is also a low-impact exercise that is gentle on your joints. And, best of all, it can be done in any pool!

The use of ankle weights can help strengthen your back muscles without further causing your pain by adding more stress. By using ankle weights, you will be able to strengthen your entire lower body and back muscles at the same time!

Another great tool for reducing back pain is a kickboard. With a kickboard, you can work on strengthening your core muscles while simultaneously doing an aerobic workout in the water. Kickboards are also great for people who are recovering from an injury or surgery and need to strengthen their muscles without adding more stress.

WEIGHTLESSNESS

Now, what is weightlessness exercises? These are exercises that you do in a pool. When you get into a pool, the water lifts your body and helps to relieve pain from certain parts of your body. In fact, it is also good for people who have arthritis or balance problems because there is no weight bearing on their joints when they swim around in the pool area.

It has been recommended by doctors that patients with back pain should perform aquatic exercise three times per week for six weeks; this will help reduce the amount of back pain experienced. The main purpose here is to build up muscle strength and flexibility – which will eventually lead to an overall improvement in physical function and range of motion! You can also use these types of exercises as part of rehabilitation after surgery such as spinal fusion surgery.

There are plenty of exercises that you can do in a pool, but here are five exercises that have been specifically designed to help ease back pain:

Walking Lunges

Start by standing in the water with your feet hip-width apart and hold onto the pool edge for support. Step forward with one leg into a lunge position and keep your back straight as you lower down. Make sure that your front knee does not go over your toes, and then push yourself back up to the starting position. Repeat this movement 20 times before switching legs.

This exercise helps to build up strength in the muscles around your hips and thighs – which will help to take some of the pressure off of your spine when you’re standing up straight.

Aquatic Hamstring Curls

Lie on your back with legs extended and arms at sides in the water, then bend one knee into a half-circle until it touches your chest. Hold for three seconds before returning to starting position. Repeat this movement 20 times before switching legs. The aquatic hamstring curl helps to strengthen muscles that support the lower spine while also stretching out tight hamstring tendons which can cause pain down near where they attach onto bones of hips or sacrum area (tailbone). A great way to do this exercise is by using an inflatable ball underneath yourself as well if there are no steps available nearby – just make sure you’re holding on tightly so don’t slip!

 

Back Extensions

Start by lying on your stomach in the pool with arms extended overhead. Then, slowly lift your chest and upper torso off of the water while keeping your hips and legs in contact with the surface. Hold for three seconds before lowering yourself back down. Repeat this movement 20 times.

The back extension exercise helps to strengthen muscles along your spine, which can help to support it and take some pressure off of any painful areas. This is a great exercise to do if you spend a lot of time sitting at a desk as it can help to counteract the hunched posture that many people develop over time.

Swimming

Swimming is a great all-around exercise that provides both cardio and strength training benefits – making it perfect for people with back pain! It also helps to strengthen muscles along the spine, which will help to take some of the pressure off any painful areas.

Swimming is a great way to get your heart rate up and burn calories without putting too much strain on joints like running or walking can do. Swimmers often find that they feel less tired at night compared with other forms of exercise because swimming gives them energy rather than draining it away from their body like so many other sports would do; this means you’ll be in bed earlier each night getting better sleep! And if you don’t have access to an indoor pool then try going out during times when there aren’t as many people around – most neighborhood pools close after Labor Day weekend so you should have plenty of space all yourself.

Aquatic Yoga

Start by standing with feet hip-width apart and arms at sides in the water, then bend forward from your hips until your chest is parallel to the surface. Hold for three seconds before returning to starting position. Repeat this movement 20 times. This exercise helps strengthen muscles along the spine which can help take some pressure off any painful areas as well stretching out tight hamstring tendons that might cause pain down near where they attach onto bones of hips or sacrum area (tailbone). A great way to do this exercise is using an inflatable ball underneath yourself if there aren't steps nearby – just make sure you're holding on tightly don’t slip!
