Whether it’s from bad posture, playing sports, working out, or general wear and tear everyone seems to have tight shoulders. As I have mentioned frequently in past posts, most people don’t do anything about their mobility flaws. It amazes me the amount of people I see walk up to the first tee box without stretching any part of their body and proceed to complain about all of their aches and pains. I am not suggesting stretching solves all, but it certainly can’t hurt and I'm tired of hearing about it! The shoulders in specific are critical to the golf swing,...

Everyone and their mother has tight hips nowadays. Why? I’m not entirely sure. Maybe it could be from the sedentary lifestyle that has plagued this earth or just never stretching at all. What has caused this epidemic is not why I am writing this article - that is way out of my pay grade.  Let’s be honest most of the time people lie.

It’s a very easy way to work on rotational power and sequencing the entire body. Not to...

Which can make the golf swing very hard! For the purposes of this article I will be grouping the shoulders and t-spine (upper back) together to make it easier.  During the golf swing the shoulders are required to do quite a bit.  Rotate in both directions Trail arm externally rotates Lead arm horizontally abducts (comes across body) Upper back extends And more… You get the idea, it...

Rotation, power, and efficiency all starts with how your body moves. And correct me if I’m wrong, but the hips have a critical role in that. With that in mind, you should be giving them a lot of love. Yes, your basic toe touch and torso rotation is okay, but is it really helping you or do you still always feel tight in the beginning of your round?  What if I told you I had the secret to unlocking “loose” hips.  Well, you are reading the right blog. I am going to lay out a series of stretches that will...
