The Most Common Myths About

Golf Pain

You've Been Told By Doctors, Friends and Social Media That Keep You In Pain and Taking Pills

If you’ve suffered with back pain or sciatica, you’ve probably heard a wild range of stories and opinions from friends and family, and even outdated advice from doctors to rest and rely on painkillers which has left you confused, frustrated and unable to get long-term relief.

Here are some of the most common pain myths people who visit our Edmonds clinic have been told which has actually made their back pain and sciatica much worse, and delayed their recovery from injuries.

MYTH #1 - PAIN SOLELY ARISES FROM SWING MECHANICS

The assumption that pain in golf is solely caused by swing mechanics is a common misconception. While mechanical flaws can contribute to pain, Adam emphasizes that the root of the issue often goes deeper. Underlying mobility and strength deficits play a significant role in pain generation, requiring a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation that addresses both swing technique and physical capabilities.

MYTH #2 - REST AND IMMOBILITY ARE THE BEST FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT

Contrary to traditional beliefs, Adam advocates for an active rehabilitation approach, challenging the notion that rest and immobility are the best solutions for managing pain. He believes that movement is medicine and emphasizes the importance of engaging in targeted exercises and interventions to alleviate pain and promote long-term musculoskeletal health.

MYTH #3 - GOLF REHABILITATION IS LIMITED TO PAIN RELIEF

Another myth surrounding golf rehabilitation is that its sole focus is on pain relief. While pain management is an essential component, Adam's approach extends beyond symptom alleviation to optimize biomechanics, enhance performance, and prevent future injuries. By addressing underlying mobility and strength deficits, golfers can unlock their full potential on the course and enjoy lasting improvements in their game.

MYTH #4 - GOLF REHABILITATION IS ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL

A common misconception is that golf rehabilitation follows a one-size-fits-all approach. Adam stresses the importance of individualized care, tailoring treatment plans to each client's unique needs and goals. By conducting thorough assessments and addressing specific biomechanical imbalances and movement dysfunctions, Adam ensures that clients receive personalized care that optimizes their recovery and enhances their performance on the golf course.
