Golf Performance Warm-Up
Increasingly, specific sports are blamed for injuries when those sports may actually be helping the athlete postpone an ailment for weeks, months or years. These exercises are designed to help problem areas in your sport so you can have less pain and boost your performance.
DISCLAIMER:
1. These stretches are not designed to be medical advice. First consult a medical professional to ensure you don’t have an issue that requires medical attention (ie. break, infection, tumor, tear or organ involvement.)
2. If any of the stretches cause pain, stop doing it and move on to the next one.
1. Use the exercises both before and after your activity. If any stretch causes discomfort, skip that stretch for now and reintroduce it later.
2. On days that you are not playing your sport, use the daily warm-up exercises to stay feeling young and active.
