For patients with lumbar spondylosis, it is recommended to exercise through swimming. Swimming exercises the muscles in the lower back and since the body is in a non-weight-bearing position during swimming, it does not aggravate the symptoms of lumbar spondylosis. Remember not to engage in exercises that put weight on the waist, such as playing ball, running, or participating in marathons. These activities should be avoided as they can increase the burden on the waist, exacerbating the degree of spondylosis. They may also lead to complications such as lumbar disc herniation and spinal stenosis, causing gradual increase in lower back pain and symptoms of numbness in the lower limbs.
