Proper warm-ups before golfing are arguably very important in helping your body avoid injury. As a golfer, we understand that one of your primary goals is staying injury free. Our physical therapists at Change The Game can teach you warm up routines that utilize light weights, resistance bands, or targeted stretches to get your body ready for golfing and other activities. Some light cardio can also be beneficial in your warm-up routine, as the goal is to have your muscles warm and loosened up. Contrary to what industry standards suggest, static stretching before you hit the driving range or a round or two of golf with your buddies is NOT what you should do. Static stretching (where you hold a stretch) right before a round can actually increase your risk for injury and decrease your body’s ability to produce power in your swing. Static stretching has a place in your mobility routine — just not right before your round. Rather, activate your muscles to improve your mobility. Get your muscles primed for handing the high forces the golf swing demands out of your body. Understand the warm up is not the solution if you face pain or chronic tightness in your rotational centers. At Change The Game Golf THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER WARM-UPS
GAME CHANGERS “I was like, “I gotta do something, my back’s hurting” – I injured my back. And then he (Grant) said, “Come on in, I can help you, I can fix it.” So I have been to my chiropractor, I’ve been to my family doctor, I’ve been to a
massage therapist – none of them could fix it. I came in, I saw Grant, an hour later I walked out a brand newman. Now I do his exercises every day, I mean, every day, and it’s just a different way of life. It’s great!” — Ray STAFF SPOTLIGHT
