Senior Golfer Alert!
I would say that the majority of golfers that come and see me for golf fitness are over the age of 50 and realise that to ‘stay in the game’ need to start training seriously and work on their flexibility.
If you fit into this category, you will probably have a few injuries, aches or pains that have been induced by golf or another sport that you have played over a number of years. The most common golf injuries are low back pain, hip, knee and wrist injuries.
By following a golf specific exercise program, the risk of injury will be reduced and an already existing injury will have more success of returning to normal. So let’s get motivated and serious about getting fit for golf over 50!
I want to mention hip rotators as this is an important area for senior golfers. The hip joints are a major supplier to the whole swing and any tightness in this area is likely to cause some major swing faults such as loss of swing plane, loss of axis and loss of arc and therefore will cause overuse of the arms and wrists.
Tight hips encourage loss of power and low back pain.
A muscle imbalance of the hip rotators often causes the golfer to overuse the back, shoulders and elbows and will result in an injury to these areas.
Flexible hip rotators are paramount to the execution of a good golf swing.
