⛳️ Golf & Your Feet: 3 Common Injuries + Solutions 👣
🏌️The Ryder Cup is currently underway at the Black Course at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, New York. Here are the Top 3 Problems we see in our office with golfers:
1️⃣ Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain)
🔹 Cause: Repetitive stress from walking 18 holes & push-off in the swing.
🔹 Fix: Stretching calves/arches, custom orthotics, night splints, shockwave therapy.
2️⃣ Ankle Sprains / Instability
🔹 Cause: Sudden twisting on uneven turf or during powerful rotations.
🔹 Fix: Bracing, balance training, strengthening, proper golf shoes with ankle support.
3️⃣ Tendonitis (Achilles & Peroneal)
🔹 Cause: Overuse from repetitive swings + long-distance walking.
🔹 Fix: Ice, activity modification, eccentric strengthening, custom orthotics.
✨ Pro Tip: Don’t ignore foot or ankle pain. Early diagnosis and treatment keeps you on the course longer!
