The standing hamstring stretch is a great addition into any home exercise routine. Loosening up the hamstrings can help not only with hamstring pain but also can help improve your lower back pain! — Elevate one ☝🏻 foot up on a step while leaning forward (making sure to maintain a neutral spine) until you feel a good stretch in the back of the elevated leg. Hold for 10-20 seconds ⏱ and relax. Repeat 🔄 on each side. — 🌐Want to learn more about golf performance, injury prevention and overall health?

For many people, the traditional “dead bug” exercise 🐛 May be too difficult. This could be due to a hyper-sensitive SI joint, a weak core, over-active hip flexors, or any other number of conditions. If this is the case for you, try this regression from the dead bug. — 1️⃣ Point your arms straight up to the ceiling. 2️⃣ Bend your knees to about 45 degrees. 3️⃣ Slide one foot out, then bring it back to the starting position. 🔄 with the other leg. — 🌐Want to learn more about golf performance, injury prevention and overall health?

Why do we check the neck when assessing the body during a golf swing 🏌🏻♂️? — Think about it 💭 — If you can’t turn your neck properly, whether due to cervical spine restrictions or tight muscles, your swing is going to suffer. With limited neck range of motion, at some point you are most likely going to lose sight 👀 of the golf ball and have to re-find the ball during your downswing. This is a lot of information for the brain 🧠 to process in a short amount of time. — Hitting a golf ball is hard enough as it is. Why make it harder on yourself by not improving the range of motion in your neck 🤷🏻♂️? — 🌐Want to learn more about golf performance, injury prevention and overall health?

IT band tightness? Lateral knee pain? — There are 2 main areas to focus on when dealing with a tight IT band. 1️⃣ The hip (TFL and glutes) 2️⃣ Just above the knee near the insertion point. Reach down and feel that area, does it feel like a rope inside your leg? Yup it’s tight! — Why only focus on these areas? Because there is a fat pad under the IT band that offers cushioning against the muscles of the thigh. Foam rolling over the entire side of the leg could irritate this fat pad and essentially cause bursitis (minus the bursa) leaving you in more pain than before you started! — Small movements are key with rolling the IT band as you need to make sure to only remain in these 2 small areas. — 🌐Want to learn more about golf performance, injury prevention and overall health?
