Golf and sports injuries are not something you hear very often in a sentence together but it’s a lot more common then people think. Because of the repetitive, one-sided nature of the golf swing we commonly see muscular injuries in the lower back, hips, shoulder and elbows. Receiving regular treatments can help golfers from getting injured and helps to improve your swing by not allowing your club path to be affected from muscle tightness.
