Is your golf game stuck in neutral? If you're looking to add more yards to your drive, it might be time to look beyond your clubs and focus on your body. More specifically, your thoracic spine (mid-back) and hip mobility play a crucial role in generating power and keeping your swing consistent.
When these areas are stiff or not working together properly, you start to rely on your lower back for movement and force. This not only reduces the power behind your swing—it also increases the risk of pain or injury. Chiropractic adjustments and specific exercises can help restore motion to your joints, improve muscle coordination, and unlock your body’s natural range of motion.
We focus on improving hip mobility through soft tissue work and targeted stretches. When your hips move efficiently, your spine stays stable, your posture improves, and you regain the power that translates into extra yards off the tee.
3 Key Tips to Keep You Pain-Free This Golf Season
As golf season swings into full gear, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of hitting the greens. But jumping in too fast without proper preparation can leave you sidelined with back pain or worse. If you’re a golfer looking to stay pain-free and play your best all season, we’ve got three essential tips that can make a huge difference:
-
Pace Yourself – Avoid the temptation to jump right into long rounds of golf. Start with shorter sessions to allow your body to adjust, gradually building up your endurance and strength.
-
Warm Up Properly – Warming up before you tee off is crucial for keeping your body ready for the physical demands of the game. Focus on dynamic stretches that target the muscles involved in your swing, especially your hips and thoracic spine.
-
Create a Mobility, Stability, and Strength Routine – A solid routine tailored specifically for golfers can enhance your performance and protect your body. Mobility exercises for the hips and spine, stability work to improve posture, and strength training for the muscles that support your swing will keep you strong and injury-free.
Don’t wait until pain forces you to take a break—be proactive! Chiropractic care, combined with these tips, will give your body the support it needs to play strong all season long.
