title: Rehabilitation of the athlete with low back dysfunction.
abstract: Low back injuries in athletes can be classified into three diagnostic categories: disk problems, hypomobility/hypermobility problems, and muscular problems. Various strategies have been presented for the identification and treatment of these disorders. The translation of rehabilitation procedures to an athletic population including resumption of training and competition have been discussed.
