Tee Up for a Healthy Golf Season March marks the arrival of spring and the anticipation of a brand- new golf season. It’s not just about dusting off your clubs but also about prepping your body for the game. Here are some effective tips to ensure you swing into the new season at your physical best. • Dynamic Warm-Up: Replace traditional static stretching with dynamic warm-ups like leg swings, arm circles, and torso rotations to prepare your muscles and joints for the various movements in golf. • Balance and Coordination: Golf requires a high level of balance and coordination. Our therapists can give you drills to enhance your stability, which in turn will improve your swing. • Soft Tissue Work: Use foam rollers or a massage stick to work on your soft tissue. This helps muscle recovery and keeps you loose and limber, reducing the risk of strains or sprains. By incorporating these cutting-edge tips into your preparation, you’re setting yourself up for a healthier, more enjoyable golf season. May your drives be long and your putts be true!
