The back nine ache, the morning-after stiffness, the little stab on follow-through. A lot of golfers have accepted that pain is just the price of playing. In this episode Shaun challenges that, and explains why golf back pain is almost always a symptom of a problem somewhere else entirely.
In this episode:
- Why golf doesn't have to hurt your back
- How your lower back ends up "stealing" rotation it was never built for
- The role stiff hips and a locked-up mid back play in lumbar pain
- Why Shaun almost never starts with the back when someone has back pain
- The idea that where the pain is usually isn't where the problem is
