BACK PAIN BACK PAIN SOLUTIONS Get Back to Golf Back pain is very common among the general population and is by far the most common injury among golfers. Based on data collected by Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) from over 31,000 golfers, 28.1% of all golfers face lower back pain after every round. About 1 in 4 golfers play with low back pain (including professional golfers on all tours). It is OK if you have experienced low back pain - most golfers have. If you want to have less back pain, you have to know what specifically has led to the pain occurring in the first place. ROTARY CENTERS
In the golf swing, we have 4main rotary centers that are critical for maximizing performance and playing with less pain. The trouble is, a majority of golfers (75%) will fail at least 2 of these tests. The rotary centers are located at the neck, the shoulders, the spine and the hips. If even one of these areas lacks the necessary mobility needed for the golf swing, it can lead to lower back pain. Often, the back pain is a symptom of other parts of your body not moving like they should, and as a result, the low back takes more of the stress in the golf swing. Check out our website for the free take home assessment to see if you pass these rotary centers! BACK PAIN PREVENTION To prevent back pain, you need to know where you are lacking mobility and where you are lacking strength. Lacking mobility and strength may lead to different swing mechanics that may increase your risk of injury. When you work on the correct areas, you will decrease your risk for back pain and be able to play more rounds with less pain.
