In this episode, Susan and Erica discuss a young squash player with long-standing low back pain. They highlight the importance of injury and movement history. What do we know of squash players? What regions of the body are stressed in this sport? Look at different movement patterns to tease out the driver. How can you apply your clinical reasoning using a timeline of his injury history coupled with the dominant movement patterning inherent in that sport to figure out where his drivers lie? Hint: there was more than one area. Not surprising-this is very common. They also discuss a sound exercise progression giving listeners options for changing context and load. Enjoy!
