equivalence to water exercises?

[The Director]

I had an accident 8 weeks ago, fractured my neck and upper back. I recently went to the doctor, and he said I shouldn't lift any weights until my 24th week mark. However, he said I can do water exercises, since they wont be putting to much pressure on my fractures. But my skin doesn't react too well with chlorine, so I avoid pools, is there anything else I can do that will help maintain my muscles as I rest the fractures?

I was thinking maybe an exercise stretch rope?

chlorine isnt used as a cleaning agent anymore,
its bromine ...

i think this is a univeral thing.

If you fractured your spine your doctor should assign a sports therapist or physiotherapist to you. He wouldn't just say oh and you should be doing these type of exercises.

Having a fracture to a vertebrae is just as serious as a break.

Agree seek a therapist advice for this. Also Chlorine is till widely used in pools but if you check around you may find a pool that actually uses Bromide instead. The water will be brown in color so it will not look quite as attractive as the chlorinated pools. We had one for therapy.
