KEY TAKEAWAYS 

Lower back pain in a young athlete is an inconvenience that needs sorting out but the majority go back to sport without any problems 
These injuries don’t occur in the non-athlete population. Whatever level it’s at, it needs checking
If you have an experienced clinician they should be able to manage it without imaging 
A graduated return to activities is what’s required, we want to have an adult athlete who can withstand the demands of adult sport
We need to help them to see good credible role models who have come back from this injury 
Working in phases helps young people see what the journey is back to health 
It’s about getting them back into sport layer by layer, making them stronger and educating them

BEST MOMENTS‘It’s not that kids are doing too much, it’s that they are doing too much too soon’‘We only get this opportunity to make you stronger once’ ‘Find a hero in their sport that you know has come back from this injury, loads of people have gone through this’
