Common Golf Injuries
Back Pain
Back pain in golfer is one of the more common concerns. Swinging a club can create tension in the lower back as well as poor posture when addressing the ball. Proper posture and training the body to relax while swinging will help alleviate these issues.
Shoulders, Arms, and Wrists
- “Golfer’s Elbow” is one of the most common injuries which occurs while playing golf. It is a form of tendinitis which is typically felt on the inside of the elbow. It is usually caused by forceful contraction of the muscles around the elbow. Tight grip and the motion of swinging the club can create the conditions which lead to golfer’s elbow.
- “Tennis Elbow” is another condition commonly suffered by golfers. While golfer’s elbow affects the inside portion of the elbow, tennis elbow affects the bonier outside portion. Both conditions need rest and therapy to correct.
Muscle Pulls
- While not as common as in other sports, muscle pulls from overswinging can happen in golf. Proper swing mechanics and proper warm-up exercises can help to avoid muscle pulls.
