I tore/strained my left lateral muscle. Either from over extending on backswing, or from hitting turf behind the ball on a complete miss. Now I’m scared to play thinking il hurt it again. Any advice. 39 year old rookie
Thanks for some savvy advice. I adapt my swing randomly. Standing closer…..or further….shalow it out…ot more upright. I find it difficult to gage with knees. Meaning….to go down to ball using knee bent. Look at pros…..they up and down behind ball couple of times as part of routine. I had fusion..L1L2L3….1986…..and harrigton rods installed and removed again. I only have 79% flex compare to player with no back issues. Im going for Q school, pro tour….age 52…yep…..! The other day I hit 1000 balls and have torn rib muscles as result. Maybe I push too hard?
I have pain that is ribs all the way to my shoulder blade and muscles around shoulder blade and spine on right side right handed…. I believe in my follow through i am hurting my ribs and in overswings hurting shoulderblades.. Along with trying to heavily work out and play golf 5 times a week..
It has been 2 weeks off and i am tender when i stretch in interchostal ribbing.. It will not go away
Hi James. I have a radiating stitching pain somewhere below and left of my left nipple that it could be the serratus anterior? I know you can’t tell for sure but could the serratus anterior pain go as far as close to the nipple area? I see the muscle located more on the left side but I don’t see any other muscle in the area and it is definitely not the pectoral muscle. It is a strange kind of pain… Not stabbing, not acute… Just a radiating stiching pain that comes and goes in some positions/ movements that I cannot identify yet. I have been overdoing it in my golf simulator. I ask you because not a lot of people seem to know about this type of lesion.
A common problem in the golf swing is over extension (arching) and side flexion (side bending) at the end of the movement pattern. This action places a compression stress on the facet joints of the spine (the joints that connect one vertebra to the next). If done once this is no big deal, but if done thousands of times can manifest in inflammation of those joint surfaces that presents as a localised low back ache that can spike when the offending movement pattern is repeated (as in when you swing the club).
The reality is that our bodies can take a fair amount of beating, but only so much, they’re not designed to hold out against the slings and arrows of outrageous mechanics forever. Our tolerance for less than perfect movement patterns decreases with age, wear and tear – we don’t get away with at 40 what we might have at 18. I know this is a shocking surprise to many:) Golf along with so many other sporting activities (tennis, frisbee, volleyball running and cycling to name a few) requires repeated actions that if performed poorly can result in injury.

James, what about the side bend on the down and through swing, caused by tilting the shoulders on the same downswing plane as the backswing plane. Can this cause lower back damage or can it be helped by making sure that the right knee and hips (for a right handed player) continue to rotate to the target? Thanks
I got pain on my upper back left side between my spinal cord and my scapula im right hand, this happen two days ago during a tournament and i think that its because i made an agressive swing i didnt play the next day and today i made some practice swings with a golf club and it didnt hurt as much but i could feel a little discomfort tho, like if it was a sore muscle. Is it a pinched nerve? Or the muscle just got too stretched during the swin? What should i do? Should i rest another day?? Or should i go see some doctor?(im 17yo btw) I have an important golf tournament in 5 days. Help plssss!!
i’m right handed..needing my left shoulder replaced. i also have neck fusions 4-7.. when started playing after the neck surg..i started very slow and short of course. with my left shoulder issues i can’t extend my back swing much past 9-10o’clock. so, during this “rehab” period, i learned to do just what you are saying here. i have to use my right shoulder and core to be able to play any shot more than a pitch. all those things you mentioned..the way NOT to swing is what i did for years. i may never have the yardage book i used before but i can hit solid and on target while the other guys are whaling about and all over the course. they quit laughing at me for hitting a 7 when every one was a 9-pw and i was taking the $$! hahha
Dude just came across this website…. only started golfing this summer took 10 lessons so far and absolutely love it!!! the only thing is that my right shoulder (I’m a Lefty/ so my lead shoulder) at the rotator cuff all of a sudden has started to feel pinched and exactly what you describe in this video… I hope this helps!!!!
Treat impingement by keeping your cuff strong. The bestselling rotator cuff book at Amazon is Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff
I do not agree with your idea that playing golf the wrong or right way will prevent an injury.
The problem is that the person playing golf has a motion restrictions somewhere in his body and that wil lead to a mobility problem in the shoulder. Golf will make it worse but also tennis,badminton, painting etc.
Everybody get his car serviced but nobody gets his body serviced for its mobility on a regular interval.
By being more flexibel over all will prevent injury.
I have change to a right side powered swing and it has increased my distance and accuracy a great deal but, I have an injury in my right shoulder from that swing.
I got pain down my rightside inbetween my collarbone and spine im right handed,,,after hitting say 100 balls it comes in,,,but the next day disappears,,,im only backplaying regular for 3 months,,,what is that
Thank you for the great advice in regard of injury prevention!
