What Is Causing My Shoulder Pain?
The shoulder is a more complex joint and can take a bit of time to improve. The shoulder is a very unstable joint, a bit like a golf ball on a tee. With joints that have poor stability, they require muscular support in order to prevent any future problems from occurring. The rotator cuff muscles are responsible for keeping your joint in place. If those muscles aren’t developed, the surrounding muscles can push on the shoulder and cause it to shear. In turn, this can cause the cartilage to become injured, which can then take time to recover from.

Back Pain Help So I Can Play Golf.
The biggest problem you face with golf is the flexion and rotation. The fact that you’re slightly bent forwards and twisting for that swing is going to be a big risk factor for developing a back problem. Forward bending opens out the disc, twisting weakens them and then you’re putting a lot of power into that swing. It’s very common to round yourself over the club when hitting the ball rather than leaning forwards while maintaining your natural lordosis in the lumbar spine.

Generally speaking, leg length can be measured commonly with you lying on a bench, using bone markers. The accuracy of this method can be poor as you’re going to be using bony landmarks in the hips down to the ankles. The average deviation in these methods can be up to ⅔ of an inch – which is a huge inaccuracy to make.

Hip Flexibility For Back Pain Relief
When you’re going through the first phases of acute back pain, we often become quite stiff and all the stress is being put through the back. Your hip joints are strong, stable joints with a wide range of motion. The whole of the lumbar spine does not have a good range of motion, and it’s most stable in its natural lordotic position which is all too often lost in someone who has back pain. When you have an injury, neurological messages are sent to areas of the body that need to stiffen up to protect an injury. You can spend time stretching but further neurological messages will stiffen the area back up. The Phase 1 exercises in their entirety will be helping to relieve inflammation and address that feedback.
