Even though you may suffer from back or joint pain, still many of us soldier on to play sports.. What Sport do you play? Some back pain sufferers I know play
Tennis
Walking
Yoga
Pilates
Jogging
Basketball
Golf
Swimming
Skiing
Baseball

Personally I walk, play tennis, do fire twirling and belly dancing! The belly dancing has been a great way to increase my lower back strength,

Hey Zoe...what a great topic!!!
I, as you know, am a severe chronic back pain sufferer, and I find it very difficult to do many things...especially sport! BUT...I force myself to get out and do things even on days when I feel that I just can't do it. I love to go walking in the forest...I do a 3km loop through very uneven terrain, and it is a great workout for my legs, butt and lower back. I could give up after about 100m, because it hurts so much...but I force myself to continue for my cardiovascular health.

Swimming is another faveourite of mine, and while most strokes are impossible for me to do...a nice gentle front crawl is something I can do quite well, and it allows me to be in an anti-gravity state, and work out muscles I can't work out with just walking.

In the summer, I like to be out in the sun...and a sport I love to death is badminton...I can't play it properly with my back the way it is, but I do get out and have my husband play with me...I just can't lunge for the birdie, or bend down frequently to pick it up...so my hubby makes sure that he does his best to hit it straight for me, so that I don't have any strained movements...and that way...I can play without too much pain.

On the days where I just don't care about my pain...I will sometimes get onto my mountain bike, and hit the backroads for a few kms. I always suffer bigtime when I am done...but on the days where I just don't care...the pain is worth it!!

These are my sports, and hopefully when I am all better...I will get to enjoy them in their full capacity once again!

Hi Jennifer,

Swimming is a great suggestion - being susupended in water sure can help alleviate the pain that jarring (even from gentle walking) can promote - but great that you soldier on and keep going around your forest track - GOOD ON YOU!

We call the front call is Australia The Australian Crawl or Freestyle - supposedly it was invented by some Aussie bloke.. probably trying to swin away from a shark and needed to go fast!!

Cheers

I do walking and yoga. Both are best activities and provide us fitness. Walk and yoga both are my favorite sports activities. Anyway nice topic and very interesting.

I have given up high intensity sports such as football, basketball, and cricket etc. because of my back pain problem.
I am doing yoga as a physical workout to get rid of the back pain, and it helped me to great extent.

It's not exactly a sport, seems more like hobby, but i want to share my experience of metal detecting, it's perfect alternative of boring walks. Sometimes I take my grandchildren with me and my dog.
