Low back pain is common among the general population, with a prevalence of up to 80% [1]. However, professional athletes put repetitive, unnatural levels of stress on their spine in the form of dynamic loading (jumping), lateral bending, twisting, shear, and compressive forces [2]. Low back pain is the seventh most common injury found in NCAA men’s basketball population, accounting for 2.2% of the injuries sustained in games and 3.6% of the injuries sustained in practice [3]. At the professional level, the trunk and spine was found to be the fourth most prevalent injury region (Andreoli 2018).
