Weather On Our Side The weather has certainly been on our side and it was the first Christmas and New Year’s break where I can remember the time sheets being so busy for quite some years. I managed to get a few games in as well and probably like you was a little rusty. Along with playing more golf than accustomed to it can make the body feel a little more stiff and tight or flare up some old or possibly new aches and pains so if you find you do feel some twinges, particularly after playing golf, don't ignore it!
Let's Get Ready for 2019 It appears obvious to say but if golf gives you pain or even a niggle in your lower back or knee joint for example, then it is most likely being created by the way you swing the club. The first step is to have your swing analysed, sounds complicated but on a basic level the way most of us swing the club is down to a few key factors. 1) Injury, past or present 2) Concepts (beware of the YouTube trender) 3) What your body will allow you to do 4) Daily habits, for example if you are at a desk all day then desk posture couple with sitting down to and from work will influence your posture. Once we know what swing error is most effecting you we can assess your ability to make certain movements related to that problem, for example if you have poor hip mobility then rotating or turning will be a problem and you will be sure that you are compensating for this in a negative way which long term can lead to poor performance and injury. Targeting the areas relevant to your game means we can make progress much faster than simply giving you information in the hope you can apply at the range using a better concept alone. If you would like an assessment of your swing along with an appropriate strength or mobility program, or if you have a concern that your golf swing may becoming more difficult to make or causing some pain please click here and I would be delighted to help. A little improvement in the right area can go along way! |
