When we are in pain, certain muscles in our body subconsciously shut down; this is no different with our lower back muscles.
The more pain that you are in, the more your body will protect itself by limiting muscle activity in and around that area.
This means your performance, whether it be out on the pitch, in the gym or bending down to pick up something you’ve dropped, is automatically influenced and hindered if you have lower back pain.
If you have sustained a recent lower back injury, don’t be afraid to apply ice to this area for 15-20 minutes. Remove the ice for about an hour, and then reapply again.
Icing obviously won’t completely solve the issue, but it will help manage your back pain to begin with in the acute stage.

I had suffered a bad strain from the gym in my upper back trap area and was very immobile and causing me tension headaches. Rob managed to source the problem and relieve some of the soreness and get me on the road to recovery my back and neck were back too 100% within a couple of days and I was back in the gym, could not recommend rob more if you've got any pains or long lasting injuries I'd highly suggest you see Rob!
