signs and symptoms of spondylolysthesis.(A guide only)
Problem usually comes on gradually and continues whilst player continues to train and play.
Main symptoms are aching discomfort and pain in the area of the problem.
Pain when a particular movement is performed(lower back area)
No history of direct injury
Player may complain of stiffness/aching after or during training/playing.
Several hours/days for player to become pain free, following playing/training.
Player may demonstrate tenderness to the touch or pressure over affected area.
Can cause spasms that stiffen the back and tighten the hamstring muscles, resulting in change of posture and gait.
Player may miss training sessions/matches.
The problem does not go away and medical advice should be sought.
Hope this helps.

Ray.
