Offline Bro,
I had pain in my back for a long time and tried many things..osteopath, naturopath, chiropractor, acupuncture, physiotherapy and eventually surgery!
You seem to only have pain after playing? I would say try something to strengthen your back first – Pilates is brilliant and yoga too. Pilates will build strength in your back and was recommended by my surgeon and everyone else I have seen. Yoga won't really strengthen your back, but increases flexibility. I think you would notice improvements with your back pain quite soon if you tried them. Just some basic exercises and stretches can make all the difference. Many people who do Pilates and Yoga find they can do much more afterwards.
P.S What did the doctor say?

Offline As to WHY you're getting the pain..It could be anything, but Badminton involves a lot of stress on your muscles and limbs, but particularly the back. All the twisting and quick movements (like smashing and clears) put a heavy load on your spine and back muscles, especially the lower back area. We should all really be doing some back strengthening to reduce the pressure on our spine and help us play longer, but people forget the back unfortunately..often until it's too late!

Offline not sure why you'd be getting pain in your waist,
my only advice would be to insure you stretch and warm up well before you begin to play or even hit a shot,
Before you play try warming up the area with a heat pack, and when you get home after playing try having a nice warm bath to sooth and relax the muscles.

Offline friends…

will keep in mind especially on pilates & warm up well
my friend said it`s because of my movements during playing (like smashing & clears) but i love to do that…

P/S : Doctor only said that my pain due to strain on my back
Thanks all…….

Offline Good advice from the above, but I am certainly no expert in the matter! Improving the core and back stability is ALWAYS a good idea however.
I would like to ask you a question though: when you are going to hit your clears and smashes… where would the shuttle land if you were to simply let it drop. Would it land on your head? Would it land behind you? Would it land in front? Please consider this carefully, because I would imagine back stress MAY be caused by having to arch your back too far backwards on those power shots like clears and smashes… meaning you should get behind the shuttle further before you hit, making sure you have your body weight leaning forwards throughout the shot. An exercise you can do to test what I have said, is to ask a friend to hit you a large lift, and you move back and get ready to hit it. Instead, let the shuttle fall. If you are able to catch the shuttle with your non racket hand, in FRONT of you (the shuttle would land just before your body/foot closest to the net), then what I am suggesting is probably not the problem. However, if you struggle to catch the shuttle because it goes behind you, then consider making sure you get another step or two backwards before you play your shots. Also remember on those power shots, that relaxation and coordination are the keys to success (with good technique). Putting in extreme effort with the whole body, is not necessarily a good idea.
Thanks,
Matt

Bro
Sorry to read about your back.
I think Matt has given you a lot of ideas here and it's worth checking.
The other question I would have revolves around your technique. You see, if you're twisting a lot from the rear court then this could also be contributing to this pain.
One session with a coach should be sufficient to identify technique issues, although sadly, it may take more sessions to correct the problem.
Matt also suggested strengthening your core area. It's good advice.
I gather from your emails that you don't suffer for long, otherwise you wouldn't be on court. So, is this pain temporary? If so, then at this stage possibly no long term damage has occurred.
Best advice right now is to get a coach for a good check up.

Offline You said your friend says it's because of your movements – does he mean you're doing the incorrect movement or have incorrect technique? I'd take Paul's advice and have a coach look at you just to help with these things and look at your footwork etc.
I've already mentioned Pilates/Yoga and other exercises and they all work your fully body – especially your back and your core like mentioned. I learned a few exercises and stretches and do them at home and they've made a massive difference in pain relief – I don't really get any now during or after games. Either way, look at all the things mentioned and let us know how it goes Bro..
