Walking Reduces Low Back Pain Flare-Ups by Almost 50 Percent, Study Finds

A friend of mine would attest to that. When he was in the Airborne, he rapelled out of a helicopter during an exercise but lost hold of the rope in his brake hand while still quite a few feet above ground. He landed flat on his back. The worst of his injuries was to a few lower disks. Being in top condition at the time probably saved him.

He was in near-constant pain afterward but found walking for about an hour and a half alleviated it quite a bit.

The army doctor told him that when he got older, the things would get worse. Now that it's been more than 35 years since the incident walking is returning diminishing relief.

He recently got a 4 foot above ground pool. He says that's a big help.
