rowing suitable sport?

Post by tommy persson »

Hello!
I suspect I have a pudendal neuralgia. I think of testing rowing as a sport. The perineummuscles seems to be inactive during this sport. However, you put quit a big strength on the legs although you glide on a sledge during the movements.
Do anyone have experience of the suitability of this exercise if you have PN?/Tommy Persson

It would be all that sitting (and on a hard seat!) that would do me in; rowing I couldn't recommend it, or join in Tommy, sorry. If you got a Yacht however :)
take care,
Helen

Agree with Helen - completely impossible to sit on the sliding seat in the first place - and then, bending forward as well - no, sorry.
