Well after my trip to the Physio about my back the other day i have been showed a few Pilates excercises to do to help with my core stability. The Physio said that I really need to work on my abdominal muscles as they are fairly week in places due to my bowling action. If you could draw a line on my body showing where I am strongest it would go diagonallyfrom my right shoulder to my left leg (I hope that makes sense!!), this is due to my bowling action as i have naturally built up more strength in these places because of the amount they have been used. So i have excercises which will work on strengthening up these areas, especially my lower abdominals which are a major factor in my back troubles. As well as this I have been given stretches and excercises to help my posture, unfortunately i went through a phase which some of you may have encountered where as a teenager I had awfull posture and spent alot of time looking at the floor ( i had my moody moments qite a bit, im a changed man now though!), this has just exaggerated any back problems I have had. So im on the road to recovery and getting myself in better shape for when i start my cricket training again in January, hopefuly there will be no more ‘glass back’ situations for me this year!!
