Summary

This study looked at whether a structured swimming program can help people recover better after spinal fusion surgery. 124 adults who had the surgery were split into two groups: one did swimming exercises three times a week for 12 weeks, and the other did standard rehab. The researchers measured pain, disability, and quality of life to see if swimming made a difference.
