This is a great clip demonstrating the point I commonly make in Pilates.
The slow motion clip shows Rory ‘winding’ up his swing segment by segment. If any one part of that swing is restricted on rotation the whole sequence is limited.
Some of my golfing clients often combine there spine twist with hip rotation simultaneously out of habit. This can result in limited range somewhere in the rotation of the swing or loss of power as the abdominals during the ‘wind up’ are not fully activated.
Functional movements such as the golf swing often or always involve combined global movements involving multiple joints but if we don’t work on the specific break down of those movements we can miss the full potential of the complete movement.
