Back Injuries in Gymnastics - A Complete Guide



Published
If you've ever had questions about back pain or injuries in gymnastics, this podcast is for you.

Lower back pain is something so many gymnasts struggle with. Depending on the research study you read, between 71% - 96.6% of all the injuries reported are to the lower back. Most literature puts lower back pain as the second or third most common injury in gymnastics, just behind ankle sprains and knee injuries. Sadly, knowing the culture of gymnastics and the stoic nature of many athletes, I believe the research doesn't accurately reflect just how bad the rates and severity of lower back pain are in gymnastics.

We break down everything you need to know about common back injuries including:

* Contributing factors to back pain and injuries
* Basic anatomy of the back
* Specific injuries and how to best evaluate, treat and understand from a movement category
* Accurate diagnosis and treatment plans
* Timelines for injuries
* How to safely get back to gymnastics after a back injury
* What can be done to reduce the risk of injuries in gymnastics
* What to do if someone isn't getting better
