Surfers Back
Surfer’s back refers to lower back pain or injuries that surfers may experience due to the physical demands of the sport. Factors contributing to this include improper paddling technique, hyperextension during wave riding, impacts with waves, prolonged stance, and inadequate warm-up or conditioning. To prevent or alleviate surfer’s back, surfers should focus on core strengthening, proper technique, regular stretching, a conditioning program, and seeking professional advice for persistent pain. Over the next couple of weeks I will be releasing some videos demonstrating exercises and stretches that you can do to alleviate pain or to prevent it from occurring.
