Whether the pain is in your elbows hips or shoulders, the solution is often in your upper back.<\/p>\n

The average golfer will swing their club about 94 times<\/a> over the course of 18 holes, and some 26.6 million<\/a> golfers took to the links in 2023. All of those swings tend to add up to a lot of injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you swing a golf club, you\u2019re asking your body to generate a lot of force,\u201d said Gene Shirokobrod, a physical therapist in Maryland who has created a program designed to reduce golf injuries and improve performance. \u201cMost people\u2019s daily activities don\u2019t require that kind of aggressive, rotational force\u201d that the game requires, he said.<\/p>\n

Even among young players, those sudden movements can cause back pain<\/a> \u2014 the most common golf injury \u2014 or elbow pain and shoulder pain. Considering that the average age for a U.S. golfer is 44 (and that most play more as they age), it\u2019s important to get ahead of injuries<\/a> before they happen, since they can be harder to recover from when you\u2019re older.<\/p>\n

The key is to expand your spine\u2019s range of motion, which will prevent future pain \u2014 and may even improve your swing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
