Swimming reduces chronic low back pain in adults.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that swimming reduces chronic low back pain in adults?

Unclear. One randomised controlled trial in adults found a swimming and education programme gave short-term improvement in chronic low back pain that was not sustained at 52 weeks, and a study of aquarobics in older women with chronic low back pain reported reduced back-pain disability. A general reference notes swimming is often recommended for joint conditions, but no retrieved source settles the general claim that swimming reduces chronic low back pain in adults.
