The Mechanisms For Golf Injury

It's almost inevitable that if you play enough golf you're going to suffer from some type of nagging ache or injury. It's the nature of the game. Golf is a one-sided activity that is repetitive in nature and so will create imbalances and deficiencies in the body if left unchecked.
It's as if we should be taking a mirrored swing for every natural-sided swing we make. Silly as it sounds, it would negate the development of variance within our bodies as the golf swing requires the use of a particular set of muscle groups in a set pattern of movement, over and over again.
Consider the forearm circumference differences in tennis players and bowlers as an obvious visual example. The requirements for most sport participation unfortunately create anatomical asymmetries that often times are the precursor to both acute and chronic injury.
These imbalances and deficiencies can, by themselves, lead to injury as can poor golf swing mechanics. When you combine the two, you've got the perfect storm.
Many of us are walking around with problematic muscle imbalances and are unaware of the fact. These usually develop over time and are molded by lifestyle. A couple of the more prevalent deficiencies that alone can inflate the risk for potential injury are tight hamstrings or tight hip flexors. Either one, if present, raises the risk for low back pain.
Poor swing mechanics is a ticket for the development of a nagging ailment or an acute injury. At address, the S-posture places stress to the lower back, which is enhanced as the club is brought back in the backswing. Often times, the S-posture is associated with the tight hip flexors mentioned in the previous paragraph.
Another is the chicken-wing characterized by the target elbow hugging the body during the follow-through. This prevents extension out to the target, shortening the arc of the swing and robbing the golfer of distance. It also places unwanted stress to the elbow joint leading up to tendonitis.
The chicken-wing is closely correlated to the lack of external shoulder rotation, which often produces the swing fault.
The lists go on and on. Some additional game and/or body breakers include; lack of mobility in the lower body, lack of mobility in the upper body, poor positioning at the top of the backswing, inadequate lateral stability of the hips, early release of the club, imbalance in the forearm muscle groups, a limited backswing, limited or no hip turn at impact, and the inability to disassociate the upper body from the lower, to name just a few.
If the imbalances and deficiencies don't take you away from the game for awhile, to rehab an injury, they'll definitely mess around with your playing performance and frustration level. They can be avoided, however.
A credible golf fitness program will be able to identify and correct the muscle imbalances and deficiencies and help you regain anatomical balance in the body.
In doing so, the body can function more efficiently, producing better outcomes and minimizing wear and tear.
The absolute key, though, is first identifying what inadequacies you have and to what degree. Once determined a prioritized and targeted exercise program can focus on each specific defect.
Working with a knowledgeable golf fitness instructor is paramount as s/he will develop, from the initial assessment, a keen sense as to where you are in your conditioning level, how to begin your corrective program, and how quickly you should be advancing your program.
This will ensure a safer and more successful exercise intervention that will produce faster outcomes both on the course and with your health. A little persistence and patience on your part will assure a very favorable return on your investment.
A reoccurring ache or pain is a pretty good sign that muscle imbalance and/or poor swing mechanics are factoring in on the discomfort. Don't let them keep you away from the game you love. Seek advice from a plausible resource to identify and correct the root cause(s). Remember, it's not fixed in most instances till the mechanism(s) that got you to the pain is resolved.
Keep your body in balance for better, healthier golf.
