A member asked:

Trainer confirms my daughter has compartment syndrome and advised she rest from training-can she still do other activities during this time swimming ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Antonio, I assume we are talking about calf compartment syndrome from exercise? In that case, swimming would probably be OK, but she should definitely stop right away if she begins to experience pain from the area, as compartment syndrome can cut off blood circulation. Hope this helps!
