Prepare Your Body for a Better Golf Season

Your swing is a whole-body movement

A repeatable golf swing depends on motion through the hips, upper back and shoulders, plus enough trunk strength to transfer force without overloading one area.

Warm up before the first tee

Use several minutes of walking, trunk rotation, hip movement and progressive practice swings. The goal is to raise temperature and gradually introduce the range and speed your swing requires.

Build capacity away from the course

Regular hip, trunk and shoulder strengthening can make the body more tolerant of repeated swings. If discomfort changes your mechanics, a physical therapist can identify the limitation before it becomes a larger problem.
