Early diagnosis is key 

If you don't know that the most common cause of LBP in a youth athlete is a lumbar bone stress injury, then the risk of misdiagnosis is high. Learn how to identify them early. 

MRI is the gold standard

There is no gold standard objective assessment tool to diagnose a lumbar bone stress injury. MRI enables accurate diagnosis and guides management. Learn which imaging is best. 

Potential for healing 

Early diagnosis and removal from play reduces the risk of fracture progression and time away from sport. Learn how to assess. rehabilitate and plan a return to play for great outcomes. 

Step by step protocol 

This comprehensive online course will take you step by step through how to assess, diagnose, and rehabilitate a young athlete with a lumbar bone stress injury. It includes extensive videos of all assessment and rehabilitation exercises with a comprehensive rehabilitation protocol to download. Learn what questions to ask the athlete to identify risk factors that might have contributed to injury and how to refer for imaging using the correct sequences.
