What Causes Golf Back Pain?


Why it that back pain is such a common complaint in golf and amongst golf players on any course?

Does golf back pain have something to do with the game or do most players bring back pains acquired elsewhere into the game? While it is true that there are golfers who started having back pains and related problems long before they set foot on the course, there is clear evidence that golf does cause back pain, especially to those who do not exercise and condition their bodies for the game.

One reason is that many of the back pains are aggravated by playing the game for long periods.

So why do many golfers continue to suffer in silence and yet simple golf specific exercises can permanently cure a golf back pain for good?

The following powerful, but simple exercise has helped many golfers gain more endurance to play golf the whole day without experiencing the usual nagging lower back problems that are extremely common on the course.

This golf back pain exercise also does an excellent job in adding endurance and strength to the muscles and usually makes such a tremendous difference in your strength that you have to try it to believe and experience the impact for yourself.

This exercise that cures golf back pain is done by lying flat on the floor on your stomach with your hands at your sides. You then raise your chest and upper body as well as arms and legs as high as you can.

You do this so that your stomach supports the weight of your entire body. Hold the position and go for a count of 10. Doing this simple exercise for 2 sets daily will completely eliminate your low back pain for good.

Keeping yourself golf fit by getting involved in a good golf specific exercise program will keep any golfer free from golf back pain.
