Have you been looking forward to golf season all year? If you’re an avid golfer, the last thing you want is for an injury to take you out of commission. At The Physiotherapy Center LTD, our physiotherapists are highly trained movement experts who can help you prevent injury. And before you see us, there are many things you can do on your own to protect yourself from the possibility of a painful injury. Did you know that most golf injuries are caused by poor swing mechanics, poor core strength, or an improper warm-up? Adjusting your golf swing can be hugely beneficial and make this sport much easier on the body. Maintaining proper posture throughout your swing is critical for preventing injuries. You should stand with
your feet shoulder-width apart, rotated slightly outward, and your knees slightly bent. It’s also important to keep a relatively straight spine. Make sure to avoid hunching over the ball, as this can cause neck and back strain. Be mindful of how aggressively you swing at the ball. Swinging the club too hard or too fast can put strain on your joints. Take a nice, easy swing at the ball. Not only will this help prevent injury, but it will also improve your game with a consistent swing tempo! If you’re searching for more ways to improve your swing this season, contact The Physiotherapy Center LTD today. Our team can examine your posture and recommend improvements to lessen your risk of injury and increase your skill. See you out on the course!
