    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Orthopedics
    • Physiotherapy

    Background:

    • The annual Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge presents a high-stakes event for student-athletes.
    • Rowing, particularly at elite levels, is associated with a high incidence of acute back pain.
    • This pain is typically mechanical in origin, stemming from the repetitive and forceful nature of the rowing stroke.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the commonality and nature of acute back pain in rowers.
    • To propose an evidence-based management strategy for acute back pain in this athletic population.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common rowing injuries with a focus on acute back pain.
    • Description of a multi-modal treatment approach including manipulation, rest, ice, analgesia, and exercise.

    Main Results:

    • Acute back pain is a prevalent issue among rowers.
    • A combination of early manipulation and a structured rehabilitation protocol is effective.

    Conclusions:

    • Early intervention with manipulation and a phased recovery plan is recommended for rowers experiencing acute back pain.
    • This approach aims to minimize downtime and facilitate a safe return to rowing.
