After my first sadness that Yuzu is in pain, my next thought was OMG TV Asahi paid soooo much for the broadcasting rights.
BTW, welcome Matmuh.
I'm sure they've done X-ray too because he's a top athlete, you can't risk and get a wrong diagnosys with him. I think he was super worn out, wanted to do a s much as he could for his country, for damaged areas, fulfilling all the obligations and skating in maximum shows. He is like that. He is responsable, humble and generous. And he came back to Canada and thought- the season is coming, I need to work hard, I'll do my best and kept on pushing himself despite the limits. He's a kind of perfectionist that would tolerate pain for the sake of the glorious win. Top athletes are like that. And we all remember Romeo roaring during Worlds 2012, right? He has to have a quality rest, build in his stamina gradually, he needs time. It is sad he has a back issue but I'm sure his therapists would do their best for him to fully recover bofore Cup of China. Honestly- we've been waiting for the entire summer to see his Phantom- we can wait a bit more. I want him healthy and happy. He wants to win- good. Let those wins be glorious!X-ray, sorry. I have just done some reasearch as well. It seems myofascial pain is chronic but it's in his muscle and massage is the popular treatment. But sometimes they have to do surgery in severe case as well (to inject pain killer)I hope he will be alright. Since he has to withdraw I think it might be serious. But maybe his family and team advised him to rest before the real season starts. Hope so hope so!
Oops, I didn't thought about it. Maybe in return to their loss Yuzuru may participate in Asahi TV's variety show or something (when he'll be in Japan) ?
I wonder about the "light-weighted training", does that mean he is still allowed to be on the ice, doing some basic? but not jumps? What about spins and step sequence?

Perfecting his skating skills and work on choreography is a lot of work, so I think he'll be pretty busy if doctors allow him to. Spins are same hard for body as jumps, I'm sure they would find the compromise on what to do first and what to be left for the time when the back is healed.I wonder about the "light-weighted training", does that mean he is still allowed to be on the ice, doing some basic? but not jumps?
