What assessment considers
Assessment considers symptom behaviour, movement, strength, training load, recovery, previous episodes and any signs that require medical investigation. Most plans combine reassurance, temporary load changes and progressive exercise.
Can you keep training?
Often, yes. Training may need to be adjusted rather than completely stopped. The right modification depends on your symptoms, examination and goals.
When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent medical assessment for back pain with new bowel or bladder changes, saddle numbness, significant progressive weakness, major trauma, fever or unexplained systemic illness.
