Common Golf Injuries We Treat:

Low Back Pain
The most common golf injury we see. Repetitive rotation and poor swing mechanics often lead to stiffness, muscle strain, or disc irritation.

Shoulder Pain
Includes rotator cuff irritation, impingement, and mobility restrictions that affect your backswing and follow-through.

Elbow Pain (Golfer’s Elbow)
Pain on the inside of the elbow from overuse or grip tension. We treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

Hip Pain
Often related to limited rotation or muscle imbalances. Healthy hips are key to swing power and balance.

Wrist & Hand Pain
Common in players with poor club impact or mobility limitations. We address mechanics and tissue overload.

Knee Pain
Rotation and weight transfer issues can stress the knees. We assess your swing and movement patterns to reduce strain.

What Causes Golf Injuries?

Most golf injuries come from:

• Overuse and repetitive strain
• Poor swing mechanics or mobility restrictions
• Muscle imbalances and lack of core control
• Sudden increases in practice or play volume

Even small movement faults can lead to big problems over time. Our team identifies and treats the root cause, not just the painful area.
