Common Golfing Injuries
How Physio Can Help
The Demands of Golf
Golf isn't the walk in the park you might expect it to be!
There are millions of participants worldwide, with a wide variety in age
Players walk up to 10km per 18 holes
The sport requires strength, endurance, power and flexibility - over and over again!
Common Golfing Injuries
A number of common injuries are seen in golfers, including;
Back Pain (up to 30% of injuries in golfers)
Overuse injuries of the elbow, shoulder, hip and knee
Side-specific or unilateral injuries, as poor swing patterns can really highlight asymmetries in the body
