Golf Injury
Prevention
Type-specific strategies to prevent injuries based on your natural movement patterns.
Golf puts repeated strain on the body
Training against your natural movement type can contribute to overload and injuries.
- Lower Back
- Elbow
- Wrist
- Shoulder
- Knee
Commonly strained areas in golf. This overview is general information and does not replace medical advice.
Every Type Has a Different Risk Profile
According to the 4-Stance Theory, different movement types can be prone to different strain patterns.
Focus on core stability and controlled rotational range. Eccentric stretches for hip rotators and targeted knee stabilization can help reduce typical A1 strain.
Shoulder mobility and wrist strengthening are priorities. A2 types benefit especially from scapula stabilization exercises and eccentric forearm work.
Hip mobility and lumbar stabilization are critical. B1 types should focus on hip flexor stretches and McGill stabilization exercises to protect the lower back.
Anti-rotation training and elbow stabilization form the core of B2 prevention. Targeted oblique work and eccentric triceps stretches can help reduce typical B2 strain.
Three Steps to Prevention
Body Scan
AI-powered analysis identifies your specific risk areas based on your stance type, movement history, and current complaints.
Personal Prevention Plan
You receive exercises specifically targeting YOUR high-risk areas -- not generic routines, but type-specific prevention.
Regular Check-ins
Track your improvements and adjust the plan as your body changes. Our system learns along with you.
Four Pillars of Prevention
A holistic approach covering every aspect of injury prevention.
Mobility
Improve range of motion in the joints most critical to your swing.
Hip circles, thoracic rotation, shoulder mobility
Stability
Build the stability that protects your joints under load.
Core bracing, single-leg balance, rotational control
Strength
Strengthen the muscular structures that prevent injuries.
McGill Big 3, hip bridges, band exercises
Recovery
Accelerate recovery and reduce muscle tension after play.
Foam rolling, stretching, cool-down routines
Research Background
McGill Spine Stability Research
Dr. Stuart McGill's groundbreaking research on spinal biomechanics forms the foundation of our core stabilization exercises.
TPI Movement Screening
The Titleist Performance Institute's movement screening looks at how movement limitations relate to the golf swing and typical strain.
Hiroto's 4-Stance Injury Correlation
Sōichi Hiroto's decades of practice have yielded observations on links between stance type and injury patterns in golf.
