Improve Your Golf Game
“We don’t believe there is one way to swing a club; we believe there is an infinite number of ways to swing a club. But we do believe that there is one efficient way for everyone to swing a club, and it is based on what they can physically do.”
Being able to move efficiently is a key component when trying to avoid injuries and perform at the top of your game when playing golf. The two main components that are utilized are first mobility and then the stability of various joints of your body. From a physical therapy standpoint, both are addressed, though mobility is often worked on first prior to stability. Both need to work together in order to maximize your efforts.
A few things that I’ve often seen when limiting client’s performance and causing pain and nagging injuries when getting back into the golf season are lack of mobility or range of motion at the neck, lack of mobility at the upper back (thoracic spine), lack of both mobility and stability at the pelvis and hips.
The following are five quick tips that can help improve your performance when stepping onto the green as well as avoid injuries when stepping up to the tee.
