Hi everyone,
It is that time of year where a lot of people are enjoying the game of golf. It is a game where a lot of people don’t realize that it can cause quite a strain to your body.
CTV came to my office yesterday to interview me with some tips for preventing golf injuries. You can click the picture below to watch my segment that was on the 6 o’clock news:
Here are some additional tips for you to avoid golf injuries:1) Keep your body strong with exercises and use preventative care for your body, such as Chiropractic and Massage.2) Learn proper techniques to avoid injuries. It is never to late to get a coach to help you improve the skills of the game.
3) Warm up properly – get your blood flowing by going for a walk, stretching and doing spinal mobility exercises before you play.
And if you sustain an injury at the start of your round of golf, be sure not to “play through the pain”. You can take a minor injury and create a more severe injury by not addressing it right away. Be sure to go to your local Chiropractor to be properly assessed.
