Golf doesn't seem very physically demanding. But that's an illusion: the swing is an explosive, asymmetrical motion, repeated dozens of times, that places intense strain on the core, hips, and back. Proper physical conditioning improves your game while also protecting your body.
The swing: a movement that's more challenging than it seems
An effective swing stems from the chain that connects the feet, hips, core, and arms. If any link in this chain lacks strength or mobility, power is lost and the back compensates—which is why injuries are so common among golfers.
Qualities to Develop
• Trunk and hip mobility are key to swing amplitude.
• Rotational strength and core stability, for power and stability.
• Balance and stability, for precise and repeatable movements.
• Stamina, to maintain your performance over 18 holes.
Protect Your Back Above All Else
Lower back pain is the most common injury among golfers, caused by repetitive rotation. A well-structured core-strengthening and flexibility routine helps distribute stress and protect the spine, session after session.
A program designed for your game
A coach will assess your mobility, any imbalances, and your skill level, then design a program that translates directly to the course. Contact Louis Fabre Coaching in Paris and Neuilly-sur-Seine to improve your swing and play pain-free.
