I recently hurt my back at work and went to see my doctor. The doctor told me to avoid bed rest and keep active. What kind of activity is best?

Walking is still the most popular activity because it doesn't cost anything and can be done at your own pace. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes that are not worn out or uneven on the bottom. Try to increase your walking time each day.

The second most commonly recommended activity is swimming. You may want to find a swimming program for people with injuries or disabilities to get you started.
