Prepare Your Shoulders for Golf
Summary
Golf places significant demands on the shoulders, making them susceptible to strain and injury due to the repetitive motion of the swing. Enhancing shoulder flexibility and strength not only helps in preventing injuries but also improves your golf performance.Article
The repetitive motion of a golf swing puts considerable stress on the shoulder area, often leading to conditions like tendonitis, bursitis, and impingement syndrome. Over time, these can occur alone or in combination.Preventive measures are crucial. Incorporating exercises that focus on stretching and strengthening your shoulder muscles can significantly reduce common shoulder issues. If you already experience problems, once inflammation subsides, exercising can help restore normal movement.
It’s essential to stretch your shoulders before practice or a round of golf. Many golfers skip adequate stretching and warm-ups, which can lead to strains, injuries, and poor performance. Unconditioned muscles are prone to weakness and inflexibility, increasing susceptibility to harm.
Here are some exercises to enhance shoulder flexibility and strength:
Back Cuff Stretch
- Place your left hand on your right elbow and your right hand on your left shoulder.- Gently pull back your right arm.
- Repeat on the left side.
- Hold each stretch for 15-20 seconds.
Front Cuff Stretch
- Clasp your hands behind your back and slowly raise your arms.- Avoid bouncing.
- Hold for 15-20 seconds.
Rotator Cuff Exercise
- Perform 20 slow arm circles to warm up.- Hold a small dumbbell in each hand.
- Point your thumbs down and raise your arms out to the side and slightly forward.
- Avoid raising past shoulder level.
- Repeat 10 times.
By regularly incorporating these exercises into your routine, you can maintain stronger and more flexible shoulders, enhancing both your golf game and joint health.
