    All-Star Back Injuries

    I've torn a muscle in my lower back. Other than ice and heat, what would you advise for recovery and how to speed the recovery time up? If anyone else has had the same or a similar injury, how long was it before you could cheer properly again or at least do jumps and stunt? Thanks.

After a few weeks, and multiple trips to the doctor who said she was "fine." I...
