Teen athletes with persistent back pain may not just have “growing pains”—it could be a pars fracture (spondylolysis), a type of spinal stress fracture. In this video, Physiotherapist Daniel Lawrence explains the symptoms, safe exercises, massage techniques, and recovery timeline for teens with this condition.

You’ll learn:
What a pars fracture (spondylolysis) is and why it happens
Which sports are most commonly linked (gymnastics, golf, weightlifting, wrestling)
How to spot the difference between “just a strain” and a stress fracture
Safe rehab exercises to build strength and stability
Which exercises to avoid to prevent making things worse
How massage, cupping, and taping can help reduce pain
Recovery expectations: 3–6 months, depending on severity
This video is designed for teen athletes, parents, and coaches who want to better understand back pain and support recovery.
