Stress Reaction

Any lessons learned from players dealing with a stress reaction in the lower back?  Player halted fall ball to see an orthopedic specialist upon abnormal pain (did not feel like normal lifting soreness he'd occasionally felt for a day or two after the gym) and was told to rest and start PT.  We believe the extraordinarily well-qualified doctor likely has the correct diagnosis after x-ray was negative for fracture and the subsequent MRI showed the stress reaction, but no fracture.  Prescription is continued PT and rest and player is 14.  How did your athletic player stay in shape during recovery?  What do they do differently when they returned that avoided reinjury?  Thanks in advance!
