I remember reading hear that BWO puts more stress on the back than BHS.
DD is currently recovering from lower back stress fracture. We went to the doctor's yesterday, her fracture has healed and she can now start slowly going back to doing the back banding skills. But what had me concerned was that the doctor said start with bridges, then move to BWO, then later add BHS and FHS.
From what I've been reading here and online, BWO is the most dangerous skill, and should be the last to be introduced.
Here is one article I found on this topic:

"The last things that are added back are those that create the most stress to the back: BWO/FWO, limbers, sheep jumps, ring leaps. Sometimes I have them stop these skills altogether. "
The doctor we are seeing is a Sports Medicine doctor at Children's hospital. I would assume she knows what she is talking about?
