Check out this clip from Golf Podcast Episode 32: Tommy Baxter from Brentwood CC.



In this episode, discuss what Tommy has noticed is a common concept flaw that has turned into swing issues.

Instead of letting the club and the loft work for you, some golfers try create the lift themselves with their swing path.

This is a simple but important screening test to use with golfers.

The goal with this test is to assess if the golfer can create hip extension without using the low back or excessively using the hamstrings. We also want to make sure you are strong enough to hold this position without dipping for 10 seconds, primarily using the glute muscles and without re-creating pain.

This glute isolating hinge move is fantastic for training through and opening up space in the back of the hip and low back. Here, we get to put these muscles on the back of the pelvis on a big stretch WHILE loading through them.

This is the big difference maker when we have compression symptoms like achiness and radiating pain in the low back, glute, and leg.

Give this a try to feel what it is like to isolate the glute, lengthen chronically compressed muscles, and relieve stiffness in the low back and hip!

Make sure you are solving your chronic pain and swing flaws with a provider who looks at both…

Finding the root cause is the key to your pain and frustration (as well as your swing coaches frustration).

This is a great exercise for golfers and exercisers to build dynamic and explosive strength in the hip and lower extremity.

Here, we force the pelvis to turn into the lead side hip creating internal rotation (mobility) and strength around the muscles of the hip to slow down and reverse the direction of the kettlebell (stability/ motor control).

When we are at a stage where we have opened up mobility and improved mechanics in the lower extremity, this is a great drill to pull some things together and integrate these qualities.

This is especially great for golfers on the coil side hip, creating important qualities of power in the muscles and tendons in the trail side.

Low or mid back pain during a round of golf? How about after?
Learn more about the connection between your physical restrictions and that recurring pain AND your golf swing limitations!
Often times, we find the root cause of your pain is the same thing giving your swing instructor a hard time making the changes you have been working on. Discover the connection this Black Friday! Link to website in bio…

What does injections, basic mobility and stretching, and chiropractic adjustments not do?

Address the root cause...

There is a reason you have struggled to fix that same swing characteristic year after year... And that low back or shoulder pain keeps coming back.

Going a few layers deeper is the answer. Finding and addressing the root cause needs to be a part of your plan for this winter season!

So where are things going wrong for Nashville golfers? First, clinicians are focusing on the pain, when root causes of the pain lye elsewhere. Second, stretching is an easy prescription, but never the answer. Last, just because we improved a table test does not mean you are ready for your golf trip.

Speed is important. How you get there is even more important!

Speed without having to think too much get's you back to playing golf and making decisions. Too many thoughts in your head limits your ability to effectively and repeatedly hit it big.

Similarly, restrictions in mobility and chronic pain will limit your ability to create speed. Address and eliminate compensations and inhibition by working through these limitations from the ground up!

The slouching split squat...

This is a great exercise for working through knee pain, hip pain, and low back pain. We get to load these joints into deep flexion while controlling the pressure into the foot through the ground.

Moving slow and controlling the knee is key for this position. Find the glute working hard along side the quad muscle as you slowly rise back up.

For this exercise, we keep the back slouched and relaxed, allowing it to flex and keep the weight forward over the foot while taking tension out of the low back.

This is a great exercise to build strength through the lower extremity at varying joint angles (important for uneven lies).

In this movement, we want to keep as much weight in the forward leg as possible as we try to stay as tall as we can. Reach the ball as far forward as you can before touching the ground and keeping that reach as you slowly come back up.

We should feel the quads, hamstring, and glute muscles working hard to maintain these joint angles while reaching the ball.

The Functional Range Conditioning thoracic spine rotation drill.

This is a great drill as a warm up pre-round or pre-exercise to initiate and improve thoracic spine mobility and motor control. We are working through rotation, flexion, extension, and side bend of the spine.
