GOLF INJURIES

Back pain occurs in the majority of people at least once in their life, but it is the most common golf injury. Golfers spend four to
five hours in a bent position while applying pressure to the spine and back muscles.

Golfers are typically prone to injuries that affect the upper body. This includes the back, neck and spine, and the upper extremity, particularly the shoulder and elbow joints. The most common golf injuries include back pain, sprains and strains to the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the upper body, and injuries to the shoulder and elbow joints.

KNEE PAIN
Strain on a weak knee to stabilize the hip rotation at the beginning of the swing can cause severe knee pain. Extreme force applied on the knee can cause torn or sprained ligaments and kneecap injuries.
WRIST INJURIES
Golfers’ most common wrist injury is tendinitis, from the repetitive movement of the wrist during the swing and the force applied to the tendons responsible for wrist movements.
FOOT & ANKLE INJURIES
While performing the golf swing, power is generated from the feet which pushes against the ground. Sprains, strains, tendonitis, and blisters are common injuries in the foot and ankle.
