During sport activities spine injuries are common. From all of sports trauma, 20% are the lumbar and cervical injuries.
Lumbar injury is often connected with muscle sprain. Crossfit workouts incorporate elements from high-intensity interval training, Olympic weightlifting, plyometrics, powerlifting, gymnastics, girevoy sport, calisthenics, strongman, and other exercises. There are a lot of microtrauma (running) and high pressure and axial load of spine (weightlifting).
Because of that, crossfit can damage the spine. A lot of hyperextension and bending movements may result in muscle sprain and ligaments injuries.
How to avoid it? First of all, you should remember about warm-up before training. Secondly, you should use our special sport back brace AXE+, that provides excellent off-loading and stabilization of lumbosacral spine.

This spacer material is light made of 2 parts: external polyamide durable 3D layer and skin-friendly cotton layer with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate.
