With the summer in full swing, many people will be heading to their backyard or community pools to cool off and enjoy a little waterside fun. However, if you’ve had a recent injury, you might think that the last place you should be is in the water. Well, the fact is that swimming isn’t just a great way to enjoy the summer, it’s also a great way to recover from a recent injury. It provides a relatively risk free way to stay active, while also stretching and strengthening specific muscles. Here’s how it works:
Of course, it’s important to go at an appropriate pace when you’re first recovering from an injury. As with all rehab plans, follow the advice of your health professional and don’t try to do any exercises without discussing them with your rehab team first. It’s also important to remember that, regardless of why you’re going into that water, safety should be your number one priority. The risk of drowning always exists so always be careful when you are around water, never swim alone and, of course, do not swim under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
