Summer golf season is in full swing—literally. But if your back is already feeling it after a few rounds, you're not alone. Many golfers, whether beginners or seasoned players, start to experience low back and hip discomfort as they ramp up their time on the course. The good news? Most of that pain stems from preventable movement imbalances and a lack of proper warm-up.
Think about this: PGA pros don’t step on the green without a thorough warm-up—and they often travel with a full team of chiropractors, physical therapists, and athletic trainers. You don’t need a full crew, but a few minutes of targeted movement before you hit the driving range or course can go a long way in keeping you pain-free.
In our latest video, we walk you through three simple warm-up movements that require zero equipment. These quick, effective drills help loosen up your hips and spine, balance out repetitive swing patterns, and prepare your body for the rotation and power golf demands.
Don’t wait until pain throws off your game. Watch this week’s video and take care of your swing—your spine will thank you.
