The Rules

The refs in hockey have to skate along and keep up with the players. That's a lot of moving and twisting your back.

That's what I was thinking, but you can absolutely modify your movements to, say, use more legs, and less turning of the hips.

My sport was boxing, and I threw my back out. Badly. Set me back for a long time, physical therapy, the works. When I went back, I ruled out several of my more explosive twisting moves. Stopped wrenching out of clinches, favoring work on the inside if forced.

And I was actively avoiding anything involving lifting or bending during that recovery.
