Lumbar spondylolysis (LS) is an occurrence that is not completely clear but may occur due to recurrent hyperextension and rotation in the lumbar spine. It is frequently seen in adolescent athletes with low back pain, and conservative and surgical treatment is not clearly superior to each other. In this case report, it was shown that conventional physiotherapy could reduce symptoms and contribute to a reliable return to sports in a soccer player with LS. In addition, it was found that game-based training could increase the balance and performance of the athlete.
