I have 2 girls who tend to get backpain whenever we're doing core conditioning. This is during hollow rocks, situps and similar. I'm a bit jumpy at back pain as I'm batteling back pain myself, which could have been prevented easily with better coaching.
Anyway, we have a few candidates who are prone to back pain and with them we have it well under control with a lot of core stabi. Strangly those are not the ones struggling in conditioning. Those 2 girls are pain free in walkovers and such which traditionally cause back pain (or at least they say so) and even back exercises. It only appears in ab conditioning. Today I took them aside and had them do the easiest form of hollow holds, controling that the tummy was in, hips tucked under, back pressed to the floor and while it was not painful, they still felt it in their back more than in their abs. I'm growing slightly concerned here. Core conditioning should prevent back pain, not cause it. :/
Does anyone have experiences with this kind of pain? How did you get it under control?
