Golfers, Are You An Accident QUESTION: Telma, since I have been playing golf, I have had a lot of low back pain, wrist pain and sometimes some shoulder shoulder pain. If I take a break■ it is better, but during the summer I do not really like to tike a break from the golf game. How can physiotherapy help? Well, are you? As I've touched on in previous articles, articles, a lot of golfers haVé" postural imbalances that will lead to injuries. To determine if you are a candidate, read through this list of signs. Right shoulder too low and twisted more forwards than the left side? Both shoulders tend to be rounded? Are the arms turned inward so the back of the hand is facing forward? Head and neck pulled to the right and angled forward of chest and shoulders? Too much arching of the neck and lower back? The pelvis is tipped too far forwards? The knees are locked and the legs and feet are turned out too much to compensate compensate for the knee being locked? Judging from this list of indicators, it shouldn't surprise surprise anyone that the most common injuries that result from attempting to play golf with postural problems include neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist and low back pain. I any one of these looks like you, beware: attempt to function at a high level despite despite postural breakdowns and you become an accident waiting to happen. Sooner or later an injury will occur. To answer the second part of your question, yes, a physiotherapist can help. We examine the whole body but attend to a client's posture specifically from the feet up. We assess the postural alignment of the whole body to determine how many of the postural faults described are present and problematic. The solution Is to custom design a program specific to your postural needs. The exercises that we give are not stretching exercises to ready your muscle prior to practising or playing golf. Instead the purpose of the program is to return your body to its proper alignment. Remember that attempting attempting to play golf with injuries and postural problems Is like the car that always steers to the right. It causes a lot of wear and tear on the tires and it does not perform well. If you have any of these Injuries Injuries above, come and get a specific golf analysis from your physiotherapist and see how we can help you.
