Dry Needling is not traditional Chinese Acupuncture, but instead is based on neurology, physiology and western medical principles. Dry Needling is a valuable treatment for musculoskeletal pain.

EARLY EXTENSION AGAIN?!

We are talking about another exercise to help reduce this swing characteristic. It is so important because 70% of average golfers early extend while 99% of PGA players DO NOT.

It’s important to have the ability to separate your upper body from your lower body. Being able to do this helps stabilize the lower body while rotating your upper body through impact.

This exercise is a disassociation plank; if planks aren’t already hard enough.

Start in the plank position. Rotate up to the right, opening the chest as big as you can while trying to keep your belt buckle facing towards the floor. Very similar to the back swing if you’re a right handed golfer.

As soon as you hit your limit rotate back down to the ground. As soon as your hand hits the floor, drive your right knee to the opposite shoulder. This is similar to the initiation of the downswing for a right handed golfer.

Make sure you switch sides. Give this a try. Share or tag a friend! Happy golfing!

PAIN LUNGING or RUNNING

Walking or running is basically the lunge pattern if you were to take a snapshot mid stride. One hip moves forward (flexion) while the other moves backwards (extension).

This is a good warm up or regression exercise to the lunge. By laying on your back it removes the demand of your upper body stabilizers, so we can focus on hip extension and hip flexion on the other side to limit lumbar (low back) spine involvement.

Start on your back with both feet flat on the ground. Try to get the feet below the knees. Bring one knee up towards the chest and grab with both hands.

Then press through the heel on floor, raising the hips up evenly from the floor. There should be a straight line from the knee to the hip to the shoulders.

Once you hold that for a second or two return the hips to the floor. Do this for 10-15 reps each side.

Hope this helps! Tag or share with a friend!

PULL OR SLICE?

Over the top is one of the most common swing faults in high handicap golfers. This happens when the upper body dominates on the downswing. The club path is thrown outside to in and will cause a pull if the club face is square or a slice if the club face is open on contact.

In order to help reduce the chance of this happening your lower body needs to know how to initiate the downswing. The ability to disassociate the upper and lower body is one of the physical characteristics your body needs to be able to perform.

This exercise is called stork turns with support. Use this to help train your body to disassociate the upper and lower body.

You can use a pvc pipe or golf club for the support. Stand on one leg and place the other foot behind your knee that’s standing. Rotate left and right keeping the upper body as quiet as possible. Switch legs and repeat.

Hope this helps! Share or tag a friend that might benefit from this!

Would an additional 5-10 yards on each club improve your game? Are you tired of looking for your ball out of bounds? Are you only able to play 9 holes instead of 18 due to that nagging pain?

If you have bought countless new clubs or have had tons of golf lessons and nothing is improving or changing. Then it is time to look at you! We need to see the way your body moves especially during a golf swing.

The movement screen involves patient history, current health, assessment of movement quality, swing mechanics and physical fitness. The results are used to create a plan individualized for that golfer. The plan will include treatment/therapy, fitness training, coaching of swing mechanics or all of the above.

Let’s add more distance, improve consistency or reduce your painful golf swing!

Call 513-407-4141 for more information or go to www.elevatecincy.janeapp.com get started!

LOW BACK PAIN GOLFING?

A reverse spine angle is the number one cause of low back pain in the golf swing according to . The reverse spine angle swing characteristic is when the upper body leans toward the target excessively during the backswing.

There are multiple physical characteristics your body must need to help prevent this, but for today’s purpose we are going to talk about maintaining a neutral pelvis. We talked about the importance of a neutral pelvis to reduce early extension a couple times already. Starting to see a trend how important the pelvis is during the golf swing?

This exercise is a good place to start, but don’t take it lightly. It is called the dead bug and I’m sure you see the resemblance 😂 There are many variations of this exercise, but this relates very well to the reverse spine angle.

This teaches you how to maintain a neutral pelvis/stabilize core while moving your extremities.

Start on your back, with your knees bent and arms up towards the sky.

Next we are going to find your neutral pelvis. Arch your low back, flatten your low back, arch it again then find a good spot in between for neutral. Do not let your low back arch during this exercise.

Once you find neutral, slide your left leg down and lower your right arm towards the ground. Again, do not let the low back arch. It defeats the purpose. Only go as far as you can while maintaining that neutral pelvis. Then switch sides.

If you can’t perform this without the low back arching, most likely you have a mobility issue in the low back that needs addressed. Find a certified expert on their website and get yourself screened!

Hope this helps! Share with a friend!

NEED MORE ROTATION?

Two weeks ago we talked about the importance of mid back rotation and how it can produce more club head speed and consistent ball striking.

This exercise is a progression from the exercise we demonstrated two weeks ago.

Sit on a chair or stability ball. Grab a pvc pipe, broom stick, etc. and place it behind your back like you would for a squat. Cross your legs and keep the knees together. Whichever leg is crossed in the front, rotate toward that side.

Rotate the trunk/mid back as far you can. Once you reach a stopping point, side bend to the same side as far as you can. Hold that position with three deep breaths in and out, then side bend back up to neutral.

Rotate a little bit further, then side bend again with the same breathing pattern. Continue this process until you can’t rotate any further.

Repeat on the opposite side and remember to flip your crossed legs.

This exercise will really allow your body to feel comfortable in rotation. Give this a try or share with a friend!

"LIFTING YOUR HEAD IN GOLF"

According to 70% of average golfers will have this happen to them. It’s actually the lower body moving closer to the ball at impact to allow balance while the upper body lifts up.

This swing characteristic is called early extension. states 99% of PGA players don’t have this swing characteristic. By preventing early extension, this has a huge correlation for great ball striking.

Early extension can cause a block to the right or a hook to the left for right handed golfers. It can also cause a shank due to the lower body being closer to the ball at impact, which will affect your hands and swing plane.

Try this drill in the gym or at home to retrain your brain to reduce early extension and learn to stabilize (control) the lower body during the downswing.

Get some sort of resistance band and anchor it in front of you around hip height. Take a step back to add some tension. The band will force you into early extension, but resist by keeping your lower body back into the band. Then perform a couple of golf swings.

The band will give you feedback allowing you to feel what it’s like keeping your lower body neutral during the downing swing.

If you have physical limitations within the body this drill might not help. That’s why a movement screen is important to identify the limitations and weak links. Here at Elevate Health and Performance we can help you with that or any certified professional.

Give this a try or share with a friend who constantly gets frustrated with their golf swing 🙈 Hope this helps!

STARTING MONDAY 2/3/2020

The Body-Swing Connection™ Evaluation Program will be live and ready for appointments at Elevate Health and Performance!

We will utilize the Titleist Performance Institute movement screen to better understand your Body-Swing Connection™.

Performing the movement screen along with your golf swing will give us a better understanding of how your body is functioning during the golf swing and how that directly is connected to the most common swing characteristics that could be affecting your golf game.

During your visit we will run you through the movement screen, film your swing and correlate how the two are connected. This will guide us to use specific drills and exercises to get your golf game back on track!

When your body and your golf swing are working together, it can add yards to your game, improve consistency and decrease the chance of pain during a round of golf.
