The #1 cause of low back pain in golfers isn’t your swing speed, your age, or even your flexibility.
It’s poor pelvic control.

When your pelvis can’t stabilize properly, your lumbar spine picks up the slack — absorbing force it was never designed to handle, swing after swing after swing.

Here’s what’s actually happening:
↳ Anterior pelvic tilt at address pre-loads your facet joints
↳ Early extension through impact cranks up spinal compression
↳ Weak hip stabilizers force your lower back to do all the work

The fix isn’t more stretching or laying on a heating pad after your round.

It’s training your pelvis to move independently from your spine — building the kind of neuromuscular control that keeps your lumbar spine out of the equation entirely.

Master that, and you don’t just eliminate pain. You unlock a more powerful, consistent swing too.

Save this if you or someone you know is dealing with low back pain on the course. 👇

Tight hips? Check your feet first.

Where you load your foot determines how your ankle, knee, and hip can move. Poor pressure distribution = compensation up the chain = restricted range of motion where you least expect it.

The body is connected. Treat it that way.

Your back isn’t the problem. Your hips are stealing the blame. 🏌️

You know that golfer on hole 6 — stands up after a swing, hand goes straight to the belt line, walks stiff to the cart. That’s not a back issue. That’s a hip issue wearing a back costume.

When your hips don’t rotate enough, your low back has to pick up the slack. It twists harder than it was built to. Do that 80 times a round and wonder why you’re sore Sunday night.

Before you stretch your back again, test your hip turn first.
Then try this:
→ 90-90 hip switches, 2 minutes a day
→ Slow practice swings where your chest and hips move together

Most back pain in golf starts one joint lower.

Fix the hips. Save the back. Play more holes.

You’re not supposed to feel your golf swing in your low back.

You’re supposed to feel it in the ball. 🏌️

When your body moves the way it’s designed to — rotating through your hips, loading into your trail side, and transferring force efficiently — the compression goes into the shot.

When it doesn’t? That energy has to go somewhere. And for a lot of golfers, it goes straight into the low back.

Moving better isn’t just about distance or consistency. It’s about playing for decades, not just seasons.

Your body is the equipment. Take care of it. 🔥

The most underused muscle in golf isn’t in your arms or your core. It’s your glutes — and if they’re not loading in your backswing, you’re leaking power on every single swing. This is what we fixed today.

Generic stretches might seem like a quick fix for golfers, but they often lead to bad movement patterns that can hurt your game. 🏌️‍♂️💨

In today’s video, I’ll explain why it’s crucial to focus on stretches that target your specific needs and help improve your swing instead of just going through the motions.

Let’s stretch smart, not generic!

Still doing clamshells and wondering why your swing hurts?

Three weeks of band exercises…
and your back still tight on the 12th hole.

Bad PT keeps you exercising.

Good PT fixes the real problem
so you can swing pain-free again.
