James is one of our Physio’s who’s worked in high-performance cricket 🏏

He’s sharing his top tips to help fast bowlers protect their back:

1️⃣ Manage your bowling load carefully

2️⃣ Build real strength. You need a robust lower body plus a strong, stable core so your body can handle the demands of fast bowling.

3️⃣ Make sure your lower body and upper body are working together efficiently .. a strong core helps transfer force while protecting your spine.

Bowling with back pain or just want to stay injury-free? Swing by and see James, our expert physio. Let’s keep you bowling hard and healthy 💪
