What will happen if i workout gently with an injured back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May make it worse: For back problems other than gentle stretching i would avoid any strenuous exercises until symptoms subside. Any more physical type activities other than gentle stretching or swimming will likely irritate the injury further and potentially make it take longer to resolve. If there is disc pathology or radiulopathy, it is even more important to allow the symptoms to resolve prior to resuming sport.
