FLEXIBILITY SPECIFIC TO GOLF
Flexibility in golf must focus on developing and maintaining an optimal range of motion about the shoulder joint, the spine, the pelvis and hips, and all though the leg muscles and joints. Rotational flexibility is very important in many aspects of the golf swing.
Stretching for Golf is to increase the range of motion within muscle –tendon unit. The goal is to improve and maintain flexibility. Stretching is also an effective method of preventing injuries to muscles ligaments and tendons. Start by doing a general warm up for 5-10 minutes before stretching. We recommend that a) all stretches be held for at least 20 –30 seconds, b) breathe continuously and smoothly during all stretches, c) stretch to the point of tension, not of pain, and d) incorporate stretching into your daily routine. Here are a few exercises specific for golf to incorporate into your daily routine. Remember that stretching a few moments every day is preferable to a marathon session once or twice a month.
