How can the Golf Fitness clinic help your golf game?
It is estimated that there are 55 million people that golf worldwide. It is a low impact, aerobic based exercise that allows players to have social interactions while competing with aged matched cohorts. As with any sport there’s always the chance for injury, and improvement!
A recent golf survey of professional and amateurs golfers showed some disturbing trends. The number one golf injury reported was low back pain; 30% of professionals and 27% of amateurs polled have experienced it. Naturally, you would assume that injuries would be directly related to the way the person is swinging the club. This may play a part of the problem but there are more factors involved. Decreased flexibility and strength, which occur naturally as we get older, can be contributing factors, too. Also, general lack of activity and exercise are becoming a larger part of our society. That is why a visit to the
Golf Fitness Clinic at
The Rehab Center in Lititz is so important.
Decreased flexibility in the trunk can lead to increased compressive forces in the spine. At the peak of your backswing the compressive forces in your spine are upward of 370% of your body weight! If you think that is amazing you haven’t heard anything yet. There are many muscle groups firing at once in an effort to stabilize your spine. The compressive forces at the moment of impact with the ball are at an astounding 600%+ your body weight!
Do You Need the Golf Fitness Clinic?
What if you haven't had an injury while playing golf? A screening by a Physical Therapist who is certified to perform
golf fitness screenings can determine whether you are at increased risk of injury and design a tailored exercise program geared toward preventing injury. Not only can we decrease the likelihood of becoming one of the statistics mentioned earlier but we can increase your overall health too. Increased flexibility in the hips, trunk, and shoulders allows a person to achieve more rotation during the backswing phase. This is more likely to allow a more uniform, fluid forward swing and permits more force production throughout the acceleration phase. You deserve to reap the benefits of a longer drive and more accurate swing.
