DO YOU PLAY GOLF WITH PAIN? ANKLES

Then guess what? You are making your game worse! That’s right; every time you play with pain you either begin or reinforce a compensation cycle. This cycle completely disrupts your ability to reproduce a consistent swing and will affect your natural body mechanics.

So, what does that mean?

For most golfers, it means more time and money spent with your golf instructor, who’ll teach you compensative movements. Why learn how to compensate? You’ll never improve. If the wheels of your car were out of alignment, would you practice how to steer it straighter instead of getting it fixed?

So how do you prevent this cycle from beginning and how do you stop it?

Lack of mobility is one of the chief causes of pain among golfers between the ages of 32 and 56. If you aren’t warming up before a round, pain will follow. So I am going to show you five mobility warm-ups you can use not only before a round, but also before a workout or just generally to help your body move better.

Your body alternates between stable segments (foot, knee, core, scapula, elbow) and mobile joints (ankle, hip, torso/ribcage, rotator cuff, wrist). Most pain-related issues happen because there’s immobility where there needs to be mobility and instability where there needs to be stability.

Understanding the concept, let’s go through five warm-up drills for the mobile segments.
