The sports careers of bigtime and recreational athletes are often ended with a lower back injury and pain and SportsEdTV’s Summer Huntington has exercise routines to help prevent them.
Watch as Summer demonstrates her low back targeted exercises here.
She joins sports health practitioners who recognize lower back injuries and stress as one of the more common sports hurts. Famous first-name-only backs of superstars named Tiger and Peyton lead a legion of athletes whose careers were severely affected by low back hurts.
Golf and other body-torque heavy sports have historically been among the leading career-ending injuries in sports - rivaled only by knee injuries.
Summer Huntington to the rescue, especially for sportsmen and women competing in sports that put heavy emphasis on torso twisting repetition.
“Gymnasts, golfers, wrestlers, weightlifters, and tennis players come quickly to mind, but all athletes play at risk of inhibiting their play when low back pain exists,” Summer says.
“All low backs are at risk, especially in contact and fast-moving sports, but a healthy, exercised low back has a much better chance of warding off the hazards when they come,” she adds.
