The following case study also made it obvious that specific baseball and softball swing bio-mechanical criteria are quite common in cases of lower back stiffness, pinching, and pain after swinging a bat.
Hitting Performance Lab owner Joey Myers says there are many people looking for insights and answers about How To Fix Lower Back Pinching And Pain From Swinging A Bat. This case study reveals in a practical way what's possible with the right information and guidance to fixing these youth swing challenges.

Joey Myers warns parents of youth baseball and softball athletes:
"Be careful and think critically about hitting coaches out there. Back stiffness, pinching, and or pain after swinging a bat is not normal for youth baseball and softball players. For instance, Pars fractures showing up in 14 or 15 year olds means the damage was being done by years of swings prior to the actual injury. Shockingly, many Medical Doctors and Physical Therapist do not understand the cause of these common lower back injuries. Typical treatment is stretching and strengthening. Although this is good treatment, it does not address the actual cause of the injury. We have to do a better job at getting ahead of it."
