Person who has a backache should go swimming
 To treat backache, you not only use medicines but also combine with practice. Among them, go swimming is the best sport that helps to reduce your backache.
Often on treating backache, people use anti-inflammation medicines, pain relief medicines and muscles stretching medicines. However, in the case of people who have stomachache and duodenitis, using these medicines can easily cause side-effects such as gastric haemorrhage, stomach having holes. People have to use medicines combining with doing exercises and playing some suitable sports in order to have results quickly and be difficult to recur.
Exercises for treating disease
Doing exercises for treating disease is a method which is easy to perform but require determination, patience to practice according to designation and guidance of doctors.
Practice has to obey rules that consist of leisure, soft and causing no hurt. Do right exercises, combine with breathing deeply and rhythmically, raise intensity gradually to increase flexibility of spinal column, strength of muscles and ligament in the back, create balance of positions of spinal column, reduce by degrees the feeling of pain. During the first period, people can use pain relief medicines, then stop using medicines, and combine practice with massage.
At first time, do stretching and increasing the flexibility of joints of spinal column exercises; after the feeling of pain reduces or disappears, do strengthening muscles and ligament exercises.
Sports for treating disease
After a long time doing exercises for treating backache regularly, health had certain improvement, symptoms of backache reduced greatly, people can combine with going swimming, quick walking or combine quick walking with going small-step jogging. Among them, swimming is the most suitable method of practice because for people who have waist pain due to disease, quick walking or small-step jogging increase a burden to joints and can make pathological condition of joints of spinal column more serious.
Why is practicing swimming good for people who have backache? In water, gravitational force (gravity) decreases. On swimming, most of leg joints and spinal column are not influenced by weight. Functions of cardiovascular system and respiratory system are improved, developed general strength without affecting joints. Moreover, during practicing swimming, groups of muscles in back are improved, joints are reared better, it can dominate and reduce regression of joints and frequence of recurring disease.
Due to particulars of water, the burden on respiratory system on practicing swimming is less than on practicing jogging. Therefore, in order to get effects of practicing swimming, you have to increase gradually speed fast enough so that frequence of pulse is more than 125 - 130 times/minute. It's difficult to breath in and breath out because of the pressure of water on chest of swimmer, so practicing swimming helps to improve respiratory system and increase capacity of lungs.
Because the resistance force and heat conductivity of water are great, consumption of energy on swimming is 4 times more than on walking at the same speed. And therefore, swimming is a wonderful method of reducing superfluous weight. Obesity is a cause of waist pain, leg joints pain because the superfluous amount of fat creates a supplementary burden on muscles and joints, especially patella, groin joints and spine at waist.
Besides, cold environment of water also has effect of improving the ability of body of resisting disadvantage factors of the environment (heat, cold.) because the body is steeled. Affecting entities on skin, water increases the activity of biological electric current, makes nerve cells operate more strongly, balances the processes of excitement and reduces inhabitation of cerebral cortex, reject quickly signs of tiredness caused by doing intellectual work tensely.
So as to practice swimming to treat disease effectively and improve health, you should practice 3 days a week (one day apart), increase gradually time of practice so that one day can last for 25 - 30 minutes. Practice regularly and continuously. Increase speed of swimming by degrees so that on swimming, the frequence of pulse reaches 125 - 130 times/minute.
