Rory McIlroy ποΈββοΈhas withdrawn from the Arnold Palmer invitational over the weekend due to back pain.
He is hoping to recover in time to defend his 2025 victory at Augusta National next month.οΏ½
Elite golfers retire excellent mobility to allow them to achieve good rotation with the speed, power and precision that allows them to get the ball on the green. β³οΈ
Modern golfers spend a lot more time in the gym training strength and mobility.
Physiotherapy treatment would likely include techniques aimed at settling pain and spasm, and restoring muscle tone.
Mobilisations through the hips and rib cage would also be beneficial to allow rotation forces to be evenly distributed.
Rory would likely continue training his golf swing on simulator- focusing in accuracy and technique with shorter/easier strokes. Too much rest can make it harder to return quickly.
