Spine rotation is critical for the golf swing. If we are missing range of motion from this region, we will setting ourselves up for failure (more injury, stagnant performance). If you are in the process of working on your low back pain, mid back pain, shoulder pain, or neck pain and are not looking at this range of motion, consider making a change! Explore the Instagram page or blog posts on the website for ways to improve this critical range of motion.

If you notice low back pain or aching after a round of golf, give this a try.

This is a great drill for creating traction and decompression in the low back and thoracic spine. Work to create length through the spine by reaching the arms and hands forward as you sit back and prevent the pelvis from moving forward.

Here is some insight into the before and after testing we do at Integrated Rehab and Performance Center.

In this case of chronic and recurring low back pain of 10+ years, we found that getting into a neutral pelvis position with slight flexion in the low back was painful. We also found it was difficult to extend through the mid back and raise the arm overhead without extending in the lumbar spine. These are all things that we need to pass the Lat Test seen here from TPI.

This is a great example of how different joints, far from the sight of pain, are still involved and related to your pain and function. Make sure you are taking a look at the entire picture when rehabbing to get back to playing golf pain free!

When we find specific joints are missing specific range of motion, we need to load the joint in a way that specifically calls upon and challenges that range of motion!

This is a great drill to add in to enhance hip internal rotation while strengthening the muscles around the hip joint that help control it.

On the lead side leg in the golf swing, this is extremely useful for building up tolerance and resistance to the lateral (side-to-side) forces in the swing to help prevent slide while increasing our potential for power and speed.

This weeks blog article(s) sent directly to newsletter subscribers!

This week, we shared the most popular blog article of 2025. "The Real Cause of Chronic Low Back Pain in Golfers" was the most opened, shared, and clicked on article of the year. It was also the article I personally shared most with golfers who I have met and helped at club events like workshops and member-guests.

Also, check out my own personal favorite blog article of the year. "The Body Swing Connection" blog article exemplified the best part of Integrated Rehab and Performance Center. That is, how we integrate the physical restrictions with your swing faults and golf specific pain. YOUR golf swing is a doorway to understanding you pain and movement ability. At IRPC, we build a plan around integrating movement, mobility, and motor control improvements back into the swing!

The lateral kickstand hinge.

This is a great drill for improving mobility at the hip, decreasing chronic tension in the hip joint and surrounding muscles, and building strength through the lower extremity.

For those with low back pain, hip pain, knee pain, or looking to improve their ability to efficiently drive force through the ground, this is a fantastic drill.

Learning to decompress that the low back before or after a round of golf can be crucial to your success this year.

With recurring, chronic, or even new low back pain, a great place to start can be with creating traction or space for your vertebrae to move. To decompress the spine without external tech, just by using joint positioning and muscle activation, we can establish effective pain relief and restore key mobility. For a lot of golfers, this can be a crucial component to rehabbing their pain and preventing future bouts.
