Playing or practicing too much golf can result in overuse injuries. Even if you don’t golf frequently, poor technique can result in injury. If a player is lacking either stability or mobility, his or her body will compensate by trying to make up for the deficiencies. This may ultimately create an inefficient golf swing that will lack power and consistency, and potentially result in injury. Specific golf-related injuries and issues that can emerge include:
• Disc injuries
• Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) of the hip
• Ligament injuries
• Lower back pain/injuries
• Muscle strain and sprains
• Overuse injuries
Our Titleist Performance Institute (TPI)-certified professionals assess a total picture of an athlete’s body and swing. By doing so, they identify everything from limitations to strength training opportunities for golf stability, mobility, balance, coordination and cardio-fitness.
