TPC Week Special: How to Add Distance Without Destroying Your Back


Listen Later

With the pros teeing it up at TPC Sawgrass this week, there's no better time to talk about what it actually takes to swing faster and hit it further β€” without wrecking your lower back in the process.

In this episode, Dr. Greg breaks down why most amateur golfers are spinning their wheels chasing more distance, and what they're missing when it comes to real rotational power development. Spoiler: it's not more stretching.

You'll learn:

  • Why mobility alone will never increase your club head speed
  • How your thoracic spine and hips are supposed to be doing the heavy lifting β€” and why your lumbar spine shouldn't be rotating at all
  • Why strength and control through full range of motion is the true foundation of a powerful golf swing
  • How the rehab-to-performance continuum applies directly to your game
  • Why low back pain flares up the moment you start swinging harder β€” and how to get ahead of it

While the pros are competing down the road at TPC Sawgrass, this one's for the amateur golfer who wants to train smarter, swing stronger, and stay healthy doing it.

If your goal this season is more distance and less back pain, your body needs to be trained like an athlete. Dr. Greg and the team at Movement Driven / Physiotherapy Performance in Jacksonville and St. John's are here to make that happen.
