What our junior volleyball screening data is revealing about back pain ππ
At Star Physio WA, weβve been screening junior volleyball athletes using the Modified Biering-SΓΈrensen Test to better understand volleyball back pain and spinal endurance.
What weβre seeing so far:
β Big differences between athletes of the same age
β Some pain-free athletes fatiguing early
β Some athletes with a history of pain performing well
β Endurance, growth, load, and recovery all matter
Low back endurance = earlier fatigue β technique breakdown β higher injury risk.
The good news?
πͺ Back endurance is trainable
π§ Many problems can be addressed before pain starts

Early screening helps us stay ahead of injuries, not just react to them.
If your volleyball athlete has back pain, tightness, or fatigue late in games, our Volleyball WA physio Aaron and team are here to help.
