Like Tiger Woods nursing his back through another major, you’ve probably felt that familiar twinge after a full swing—and wondered if golf is slowly breaking you down.
The truth is, most golfer’s lower back pain isn’t about swinging too much. It’s about moving wrong because your body can’t deliver what the modern swing demands.
Hip mobility and thoracic spine rotation are critical for a safe, powerful swing. When these areas are restricted, your lumbar spine compensates by rotating and bending excessively—exactly what it’s not designed to do repeatedly.
That’s where the pain starts. Stiffness, muscle spasms, and that sharp catch at impact aren’t signs you should quit golf. They’re your body telling you it needs better movement patterns.
The goal isn’t just getting you back on the course. It’s keeping you there, pain-free, with a swing your body can handle long-term.
