strained my lower back and won't go away?!
Question: Strained my lower back and won't go away?
i strained my lower back playing basketball, and it went away after i took a week off, but it keeps coming back during physical activity. How can i keep it from coming back?
Answers:
Trunk stabilization exercise and stretching is commonly prescribed in therapy. But without seeing you it is hard to say exactly what you need. In general, as we get older we need to warm up and stretch more before we play. Strains will also take more than a week to completely heal.
