GOLF SWING POSITIONSFrustrated by your mediocre results so far on the golf course this year? Here are four quick insights from Justin Levine at the California Fitness Academy to help prepare your body for better performances and lower golf scores.

Improve Your Flexibility

Golf takes a tremendous amount of range of motion. If you lack shoulder turn and hip mobility, you will create bad movement, low back pain and an inconsistent golf swing. If you take the time to foam roll, stretch and work on mobility, you will see a difference in the way you move and swing the club.

Better Posture

When you golf, a good set-up starts the swing. And if you have poor posture, you will have a bad starting position, causing bad mechanics during the swing, and it could create lower back issues. To regain and work on posture, focus on strengthening the small stabilizers of the shoulders, core and hips. This will create a stable and balanced body and will give you the appropriate functional strength to maintain good posture throughout the golf swing.

    If you’re suffering from a bad back…you may want to try the new SwingBack, which is much more than a simple elastic back brace, belt or wrap that you might see movers using as they lug around heavy furniture. Those braces don’t provide any stable support. The SwingBack, on the other hand, is worn on the lower back and has a slim rigid front and back plate which are held in place by two adjustable non-elastic straps that immediately improve your posture and add support.
    Everything within the SwingBack is ergonomically designed to improve your posture, so you’re swinging the golf club better and becoming more mobile around the house and the office, too.
    A brace like this may sound too restrictive to make a smooth golf swing. But in fact, it’s designed to keep you in perfect position to address the ball, keep your back in line throughout the golf swing and allow perfect lateral movement and flexibility. Swinging will also become easier.
    As a golf-aid, all the pros I’ve talked to said the SwingBack put them in the correct position, without slouching or restricting their swing in any way. In fact, since your posture will be better, a more efficient golf swing is a likely result, which means you stand to be fresher than ever when you’re walking down the 18th fairway. You don’t have to be a golfer to wear one. For more information, give me a call (305) 458-6400 or send me an email at jackapress@aol.com
