Jogging with ankylosing spondylitis
Hi there! I have been diagnosed with AS about 13 months ago and I am doing pretty well since then, I just have little flare ups occasionally . My question is, can I perform jogging or any other running exercises (boxer jump in jumping rope/skkiping) ?
I make sure the impact isn't much.
Please, answer me thoroughly about this.
