Your back hurts during your swing.

The first question shouldn't automatically be:

“What's wrong with my swing?”

Golf-related low back pain is more complicated than one bad position or one “bad” swing.

Your swing is repetitive, forceful, and asymmetrical. Your body has to create and transfer force while rotating through a large movement.

So before completely rebuilding your swing, look at the body producing the swing.

Research on golf and low back pain is mixed, so there isn't one swing flaw that explains everyone's symptoms.

Start with the body. Then look at the swing.

You don't need 20 different stretches before a round.

You need to prepare the movements you're actually about to use.

A few targeted mobility drills can help you explore rotation and movement without turning your pre-round routine into another workout.

Less fluff. More purpose.

Save this one for the next time you're heading to the course!

Want more power in your golf swing?

Don't just think about your arms.

Your hips are part of the chain that helps you create and transfer force through the swing.

But here's the part people miss:

More hip mobility doesn't automatically equal more power.

You need enough mobility to get into the positions your swing requires, plus the strength and control to use that motion.

Range gives you options. Strength gives you force. Control helps you use both.

That's a much more interesting conversation than simply asking whether your hips are “tight.”

There are a lot of misconceptions about physical therapy, and some of them can make people hesitate to seek help or give them the wrong idea about what PT actually looks like.

You might have heard that PT is only for people who are injured, that it’s all stretching, or that you’ll just be handed a list of exercises and sent home.

But there’s a lot more to it than that.

Every person comes in with different goals, needs, and challenges, which means their approach should look different too.

Your knee hurts.

So naturally, you blame your knee.

But a joint doesn't operate by itself.

What happens at your hip, ankle, trunk, and knee all influences how you move and where the demands of a task are distributed.

That doesn't mean every knee problem is actually a hip or ankle problem.

It means the knee deserves to be looked at in context.

Instead of asking only:

“What's wrong with my knee?”

Sometimes we should also ask:

“What is my knee being asked to do?”

Your feet are your connection to the ground.

That matters when you're trying to create force and transfer it through your body.

This variation challenges more than the obvious muscles. You're working on your ability to maintain foot pressure, control the hips, and manage your position while producing force.

Strong movement starts with a solid connection to the ground.

MOVEMENT MONDAY 🦵

This week: patellofemoral pain.

If your knee hurts around the kneecap when you squat, use stairs, run, jump, or even sit for a while, you're not imagining it.

Patellofemoral pain is a common cause of pain at the front of the knee, but that doesn't mean there's one simple reason behind it.

Your knee is part of a bigger movement system.

Understanding what your knee is being asked to handle and how the rest of your body contributes can help you figure out where to go from here.

Don't let knee pain decide what you can and can't do.

If rotation is part of your golf swing, it makes sense to train your ability to rotate.

Thoracic rotation is one piece of that puzzle. The goal isn't to force yourself into a huge range of motion. It's to build movement that you can access, control, and use.

Especially when you're trying to distribute rotation throughout your body instead of repeatedly asking your low back to pick up the slack.

Save this one and add it to your next golf warm-up!

10/24/2026

A golf warm-up shouldn't just make you feel warmer.

It should start preparing you for the things you're about to ask your body to do.

A little rotation. Some balance. Some movement through your hips and upper body. A gradual introduction to the positions and forces of your swing.

You don't need to turn your warm-up into a workout.

You just need to make those few minutes count.

Save this reel so you have it ready before your next round!

If your shoulder hurts every time you get back to lifting, the answer may not be to stop lifting indefinitely.

A common pattern is to rest until things feel better, return to your usual training, and then find the pain coming back when the shoulder is asked to handle the same demands again.

That doesn't mean you should push through worsening pain. It means your return to loading should account for your current capacity and gradually build toward the demands of your training.

Feeling better is the starting point. Being prepared for the activity is the goal.
