S. 905-873-3103 ~ www.eramosaphysio.com NO PHYSICIAN REFERRAL REQUIRED BEFORE YOU HIT THE FAIRWAYS As we get set to venture out with our clubs we need to understand that for most of us our golfing muscles have been in hibernation since October. Before any of you hit a single ball this year do your body a favour and begin now to warm up your golfing muscles. Ideally some of you have engaged in off-season conditioning programs under some supervision or at the very least the guidance of a golf training program. Warm-up doesnt start as we get out of the car and head to the first tee. If you start now you may still have nearly a month to prepare your body for the biomechanics of the golf swing. Start with your core muscles. Theses are the muscles that wrap around your torso and include the lower back and lower abdominal muscles. A simple exercise to try is to take a 5-8 lb medicine ball in both hands, palms facing each other. Standing tall straighten both elbows holding the ball straight out in front of you and carefully bend at the waist assuming your normal address posi- tion. Draw your stomach in without holding your breath and begin a slow back swing allowing your back elbow to bend and then transition into the downswing and follow through allow- ing your lead elbow to bend. Repeat this simple exercise 3 sets of 10 once a day. Alternatively you can try the same exercise using resistance band or tubing. Spend the next 3-4 weeks quickly getting your body into golf shape and it will not only help prevent early injuries but will also get you off to a running start on this seasons action. These are two quick tips that can be integrated while on the course. Having said that, nothing can take the place of a structured conditioning program specific to the demands of the golf swing. Our Physiotherapists can provide you with a thorough assessment to evaluate the cause of your back pain. The treatment we provide will often consist of manual or hands on therapy, golf specific exercises and the use of pain relieving modalities. If you have encountered low back pain early in the season seek professional help in your area to ensure that the rest of the season is pain free. Physio News by Robin Collins B.H.Sc.
