Freestyle swimming can be a beneficial exercise during ACL recovery, particularly at the 4th week mark, according to some experts. However, it's crucial to start gradually and focus on exercises that support recovery, rather than potentially stressing the knee

Question

I've had lower back pain and pain down the back of one leg for the last 3 months. My MRI shows L5-S1 has a partial disc desiccation with a broad-based posterocentral disc protrusion pressing on both neural foramina, indenting the thecal sac and touching the S1 nerve roots. L4-L5 also has partial disc desiccation and a diffuse posterior bulge indenting the thecal sac but no major nerve compression. What are the non-surgical treatment options for this I've lost a lot of weight and now have bad posture could that be making my back pain worse How can I fix both the posture and the back and leg pain

Question

I'm experiencing an issue with my gym routine. I've been working out for a year now, and I've noticed that my left trapezius muscle is larger than my right. It's causing a bit of a body imbalance. What would you suggest I do to even them out?

Question

I've been struggling with back pain for a while now. I went to an orthopedic doctor but didn't see any improvement. The pain is mostly in my lower back. I also tried physiotherapy, but that hasn't helped either. I'm really hoping for some advice or guidance on what to do next because it's been so frustrating. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.
