Injuries most often arise from repetitive use. The back, the wrist and the shoulder are most often affected. The most common causes of injury are the strain of the swing because of inadequate flexibility, fatigue or improper technique.
A golf-ready training program should improve flexibility by proper stretching sessions to improve the motion of the shoulders, back and hips which prevents injury and can increase performance. This must be a regular routine to make gains: not just before a round. The minutes before you tee up, like all sports, should be focused on warming up more than stretching.
Looking at today's top golfers compared them to the past it is easy to see there is much more emphasis on fitness. Not surprising today's professional golfers rely on proper fitness and are achieving a better result. Most programs emphasize cardio fitness to prevent fatigue and strengthening of the core, back and shoulders. Even if you are like most golfers and hitting the links just once a week, a twice weekly training program will improve your score and keep you safe.
Finally it is important to realize that two types of injury occur in golf. An acute injury is usually due to a mis-swing or a duff where you strain part of your body, most often treated with rest, ice and elevation. The more common injury is the repetitive strain. It is important to recognize that this ongoing issue rarely resolves on it’s own. Identifying both the injury and the process are important in planning out recovery.
