Understanding Golf’s Impact on Your Body
Golf may seem like a low-impact sport, but the repetitive motions and unique physical demands can take a significant toll on your body. Studies show that over 90% of amateur golfers experience an injury at some point in their playing career. Common golf-related issues include:
- Lower back pain from rotational stress on the spine
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) affecting 15-25% of players
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff injuries
- Hip impingement and mobility restrictions
- Knee instability and ligament strains
- Wrist and hand injuries
These injuries can not only be painful, but they can also significantly impact your ability to play consistently and enjoyably. Without proper treatment, these issues can worsen over time, leading to compensatory swing changes, loss of power and accuracy, and increased risk of chronic pain.
