ABSTRACT

In orthopedic consultation and regularly in spinal pathologies, it is extremely common within the recommended preventive care, to swim, as a part of postsurgical treatment or rehabilitation of various pathologies, with the main foundation of anti gravitational effect. However, there are known the effects of swimming as such, on athletes and amateur practitioners, greatly increasing the incidence of low back pain compared to people of their age group who do not practice swimming without charging too much other factors outside the same; as a counterpart there are also arguments that promote it as preventive activity to develop such pain. Given these discrepancies we discuss below the background that support both theories, adding to his understanding, the biomechanical bases used in the main types of correlating swimming with the various structures involved with these movements. In the end, we must understand that the indication for patients beyond the scope of swimming, needs to be oriented to directed and supervised water exercises while athletes should know the risk factors associated with their discipline and know how to care for the spine to avoid stress added as far as possible.
