Common Questions We Get About Golf Physiotherapy
How can I prevent common golf injuries?
Preventing golf injuries involves a combination of proper warm-up routines, strength training, flexibility exercises, and attention to technique. Incorporating exercises that target often neglected muscles, such as the rotator cuff, glutes, and lower trapezius, can enhance stability and reduce the risk of injury. For instance, strengthening the rotator cuff can improve shoulder stability, while exercises like the Jefferson curl can enhance spinal mobility and strength.
What is golfer's elbow, and how can I manage it?
Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is characterised by pain on the inner side of the elbow due to overuse of the forearm muscles. Management includes rest, ice application, and specific exercises to strengthen the forearm muscles. Grip training, such as using rubber bands for the extensors and pinch blocks, has been reported by individuals to alleviate symptoms.
Lower back pain in golfers can result from limited mobility in the thoracic spine or hips, leading to compensatory movements in the lumbar spine. Improving flexibility and strength in these areas can alleviate stress on the lower back. Exercises like the Jefferson curl can enhance spinal mobility, while hip rotation exercises can improve hip flexibility.
Why do I experience lower back pain after playing golf?
Flexibility is crucial in golf to achieve a full and efficient swing. Key areas to focus on include the thoracic spine, hips, and shoulders. Enhancing flexibility in these regions can improve swing mechanics and reduce injury risk. For example, thoracic spine rotations, hip flexor stretches, and shoulder mobility exercises can be beneficial.
How important is flexibility in golf, and which areas should I focus on?
Yes, strength training can enhance golf performance by increasing power, stability, and endurance. Focusing on both major muscle groups and often neglected muscles, such as the rotator cuff and glutes, can lead to a more powerful and controlled swing. Incorporating exercises like rotator cuff strengthening and lateral glute workouts can be beneficial.
