Introduction[edit | edit source]
Low back pain (LBP) occurs in approximately 10% to 15% of young athletes (d’Hemecourt, Gerbino and Micheli, 2000).
Injuries encountered to the lower back in young athletes occur from either an acute traumatic event or repetitive trauma (overuse injury) and are commonly seen in individuals participating in sports such as football, rugby, gymnastics, ice skating and dancing (Purcell and Micheli, 2009). Evidence has shown LBP occurs is as much as 27% of college football players and between 50% and 86% of gymnasts (Semon 1981; Kolt 1999). Overuse injury can be as a result of repeated flexion, extension and torsion which is performed frequently in gymnastics, ice skating and dancing (Purcell and Micheli, 2009).
