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 💪

Deadlifts, squats, cleans - no matter your lift, your back needs protection… here’s what most athletes miss:
1️⃣ Proper hinge mechanics
2️⃣ Solid bracing under load
Watch physio James break it down so you can lift stronger, longer, safer

05/10/2025

Three mistakes we see all the time when people try to hinge in the gym:
1️⃣ Crashing through the lower back
2️⃣ Losing ground contact & rolling out
3️⃣ Folding forward and letting the weight drift away

Getting a sore back every time you hinge? One of these reasons is likely the culprit.
Swing by and let us fix your form here at MAD 💪 Book via the link in our bio or head to our website!!
