Sports and back troubles..?!
Question: im a swimmer and i have scoliosis and my back always hurts and gets tough knots in it, the mucles always feel tight and sore my physical therapist said swimming is good for my back considering it strengthens my core and back but is it possible the exercise is actually hurting my back and tightening my muscles in a bad way?

You'd have to ask a scoliosis specialist for a definitive answer, but I strongly believe that swimming does *not* hurt you in a bad way. I have never heard of anyone being told not to swim.
