One of the sports that folks in Norwich and throughout Norfolk love is Playing Golf!
Statistics show that 50% of people who love playing the Sport have to retire with physical injury!
Why I hear you ask?
All to Frequently in my clinic Golf players come with lower back issues!
Why Golf Causes Low Back Pain in the East of England and beyond?
- The full golf swing (backswing and follow-through) rotates the spine with a lot of force and little control
- Lumbar spine muscles strain to help provide force for the golf swing
- Disc and facet joint loading increases to help provide force for the golf swing
- Bending over to pick up the golf bag and carrying it can strain muscles as well.
TIP’S That Can Help!!
Please “Try a warm up before you play !”
- Roll your neck but be careful not to go too far back.
- Shrug your shoulders rolling them forwards then backwards.
- Bear hug yourself.
- Roll your trunk around your hips.
- Stretch one arm up above your head and bend your elbow, then pull your elbow down with your other hand.
- Rock up and down on your toes; raise both hands above your head and lean from side to side.
- Take a step forward, lean back on your rear foot, and lift the toes of your forward foot off the ground.
- Roll your ankles keeping your toes on the ground.
