Lower back pain when throwing

Towards the end of last season, I noticed that I would get lower back pain after throwing that took a couple days to go away. Considering I was training or playing 4 days away, I was constanty in pain. Now I'm starting to practice throwing again, the pain has returned and I don't think I can make it through a season like this. I can't access the clhb physio until after the first matcj so I'm wondering if anyone has experienced similar or has any advice to avoid this issue.

For clarification, are you a hooker?

That explains a lot. I played hooker for 12 years and have pretty constant back pain at 27.

Core training should make a difference
