Background: The lumbar spine is the most frequently reported site of pain in elite and sub-elite
rowing populations with 12-month Low Back Pain (LBP) prevalence of 32-53%. LBP results
in significant performance cost through lost training and competition time. There
are no studies to date on LBP assessment or management in this population. Collection
of insights and development of consensus-derived statements are particularly useful
where evidence-based clinical practice guidelines are yet to be established. The aim
of this study was to establish assessment and management behaviours and beliefs of
experienced and expert clinicians when elite and sub-elite rowers present with an
acute episode of LBP; secondly, to investigate how LBP management differs for developing
and masters rowers.
