Episode 12: Golf, Spine Health, And Preventing Back Pain
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this winter training episode, Corey sits down with Dr. Mike Carnuccio, a doctor of physical therapy, to unpack what every golfer should know about the spine. Mike breaks down the basic mechanics of the spine, how the discs actually work, and why rotation is both the magic of the golf swing and a major source of risk for back injuries.
From disc bulges, herniations, and nerve compression to real life examples like Will Zalatoris and Tiger Woods, Mike explains what is really happening when golfers hurt their backs. He then walks through practical ways to prevent injury, including off season training ideas, in season warm up routines, and why hip mobility matters just as much as spinal strength.
If you have ever finished a round with a sore back, worry about long term spine health, or want to build a smarter winter golf routine, this conversation will give you a clearer understanding of your body and a simple plan to help you swing pain free longer.
