Golf, a sport loved by many for its tranquility and precision, can also pose unique challenges to your spine.

Your spine provides stability, flexibility, and power, allowing you to swing your club with accuracy and precision. Golf, while often seen as a low-impact sport, can still put stress on your spine. Repetitive swings, poor posture, and carrying heavy bags can contribute to back pain and injuries. To prevent these issues, it’s important to maintain good posture, strengthen your core muscles, and take regular breaks.
