The foundation remains an accurate diagnosis. The treatment is worth investigating on your own with an open mind to both the successes and the risks of each. Starting new activities Your body is able to do extraordinary things, but not all at once. Begin any new activity gradually. Swimming is close to ideal, because you use everything at once, without being able to overuse or abuse anything.
Water provides resistance without being immovable and jarring like pavement.
When starting new activities, not only should you start slowly and briefly, but each beginning should be preceded with a warm-up. Jog in place. Stretch the muscles you will be using. Plan your time. Points to remember Nearly all back and neck pains are due to unwise overactivity.
