Golf, often perceived as a leisurely game, is in reality a complex sport that demands a symphony of muscle coordination, strength, flexibility and technique. The golf swing, in particular, is a movement that requires the engagement of numerous bones, muscles, joints, etc. working in harmony, to produce a powerful and accurate shot. A golf swing can be broken down into several stages, each with its own set of muscle engagements and biomechanical considerations. A golfer with good mobility can achieve a fuller backswing, generate more power in the downswing, and ensure a smoother follow-through. However, understanding the muscles involved in a golf swing is one thing, but actively working to engage and improve your mobility is another.

Purpose: Learn about the biology behind your golf swing as well as how to avoid injury and consistent bad play
