I'm currently recovering from a lower back injury, Ive taken a full week off.
I was thinking to take some direct stress off lower back to go with sumo deadlifts, but my massuse lady thinks that the problem is starting from being super tight through my hips, so would it be better to stick with conventional?
SI joint?
I had this problem and found block pulls to be perfect. I tried sumo but block pulls worked best.
I also stretched my hip flexors pretty aggressively and did lots of bulgarian split squats before any lower body exercise- and continue to do so

Sumo will take some stress off your lower back and force you to get some more flexibility which can't be a bad thing. Obviously dont pull 1rms straight away but its going to use your back far less than conventional if you do it correctly.
Sumo cops a lot of shit from some people, but those people generally are terrible sumo lifters and would do it if it was stronger - you'd be stupid not to as a powerlifter.
