It is rare that I see a coach take his/her team through adequate cool-downs. Instead, the players go straight to their cars and sit for at least 15 minutes during the ride home, letting their back muscles tighten up and putting low-load, long duration stretch on the spinal ligaments. This scenario added to a strain that they may have sustained during practice or game, can only result in a much longer rehabilitation time. The best treatment for low back injuries is prevention.
