Struggling with your swing? 🏌️You’re probably not hitting the golf course this weekend with this weather forecast 🌧️, but the next time you do, consider this: limited hip and spine mobility—not poor technique—may be sabotaging your performance.

Your lower back isn’t designed for the rotation a golf swing demands. When your hips and mid-back can’t rotate properly, your lower back tries to do their jobs—and that’s when pain starts AND your performance suffers.

❌ Limited hip internal/external rotation
❌ Restricted thoracic (mid-back) mobility
❌ Your lower back compensates for both

The result: → Abbreviated backswing (less power) → Unstable follow-through (less accuracy) → Back pain during or after your round → You can’t execute proper mechanics no matter how hard you try

The solution:
✅ Open Book Exercise for thoracic mobility
✅ Hip mobility work (internal/external rotation)
✅ Stability training (bird dogs, bear crawls) to own those ranges

We see this constantly at SHARC. Golfer comes in thinking their swing is the problem. Assessment reveals limited hip and thoracic mobility. We address the mobility limitations first—and suddenly their swing improves without changing technique.

You can’t out-technique poor mobility.

If you’re feeling discomfort during your backswing or follow-through, or you’ve lost power and don’t know why, mobility limitations are likely the culprit. Don’t wait for it to get worse.

Your social media feed might be telling you to pick between manual therapy and exercise. Here’s the truth. This debate is everywhere right now—practitioners arguing whether you should get hands-on treatment OR do exercises. You need both. Here’s why 👇

Manual therapy tells us what’s actually wrong with your tissues, breaks up restrictions your nervous system created for protection, and gives you access to ranges you couldn’t reach before.

Exercise teaches your nervous system new patterns, builds strength to maintain those changes, and prepares you for real-world demands.

The reality check:
→ Manual therapy alone = feel great for 2 days, then back to square one
→ Exercise alone = trying to fix patterns with restricted tissues
→ Both together = actual lasting change

Professional athletes figured this out decades ago. They don’t debate whether to train OR recover—they do both because they’re not trying to win internet arguments, they’re trying to perform.

Here’s what’s really happening: Your body creates “tightness” to protect unstable areas. Exercise can’t address that underlying restriction. Manual therapy can restore the range, but without building strength and control, you’ll lose it again.

Stop choosing teams. Start choosing results.

Drop a 💪 if you’re tired of these fake debates too!

POV: You’ve been stretching the same “tight” spots for months with zero progress 🙃
You don’t need more flexibility. You need mobility.

Here’s the tea ☕
→ Flexibility = Can you get there passively?
→ Mobility = Can you control that movement actively?
→ Most people have plenty of flexibility but zero control.

Real talk: Your nervous system creates “tightness” to protect you from ranges of motion you can’t stabilize. So when you keep forcing those stretches, you’re fighting your body’s protective mechanisms.

Try this quick test: 1️⃣ Lie down, pull your knee to your chest. 2️⃣ Stand up, lift that same knee to the same height (no hands!), 3️⃣ Notice the difference. 👀

That gap? That’s your mobility deficit right there.

The uncomfortable truth: Those 30 minutes of stretching and mobility work get completely undone by 8+ hours of sitting/standing/moving with compensation patterns.

What actually works: ✅ Active range of motion work. ✅ Stability training in end ranges. ✅ Motor control patterns. ✅Consistent daily movement quality.

Don’t get us wrong—there are absolutely times when true flexibility limitations need to be addressed. But most people are chasing flexibility they already have. Start building control over the ranges you need instead.

Your hamstrings are probably fine—it’s everything else that needs work. 💪

Taking off for the last pre-season game in SF! Even though it is pre-season, the excitement of the upcoming season doesn’t get lost. Not to mention I am from the Bay Area and grew up as a Niners fan.
However, lets go .
Good luck to all the players, stay healthy and play hard. This is the last game to get some tape on yourself and prove you deserve the spot.

POV: You’re pain-free and think you’re ready to crush your usual workout 💪

Plot twist: Your body has other plans.

Here’s what 15+ years of treating weekend warriors has taught us—pain disappearing doesn’t mean you’re back to 100%. It just means your body got really good at working around the problem.

Real talk: That ankle you rolled 2 months ago? Still affecting how you squat. That shoulder tweak from tennis? Your body is still protecting it in ways you don’t even notice.

The comeback checklist nobody talks about:
✅ Can you balance on one leg without wobbling?
✅ Do your movements look the same on both sides?
✅ Are you mentally confident, not just physically able?
✅ Can you handle 60% intensity without your form falling apart?

Here’s the thing—the most successful people we work with don’t ask “When can I get back to normal?” They ask, “What does my body need to handle my normal?”

That extra few weeks of smart rehab? That’s not time lost. That’s years of better performance, fewer aches, and actual confidence in your body.

Your future self will thank you for doing this right. 🎯

Beyond lifting heavy, the real goal is helping someone reconnect with their body. Customized movements + hands-on work allows them to 'feel better and move better.' It's about recovery, not just the weight. Tag someone who needs this reminder!
