7 body stretching exercises for golfers

Body stretching helps golfers reduce muscle tension, muscle fatigue, increase flexibility… when done correctly. Here are some good stretching exercises for golfers.

Shoulder strain

This is a stretch that helps widen the shoulder and increase the range of motion of the shoulder joint. Pulling movements focus on the upper body, arms, and shoulders. Golfers should perform this move several times during the pre-round warm-up and repeat as needed throughout the game.

Specifically, you hold the golf club in front of you, hold the end of the golf club with both hands, feet shoulder width apart, lift the club forward, overhead with your elbows straight. Then slowly stretch your shoulders and pull your hands back as far back as you can until you feel a stretch in the front of your shoulders. You hold it for 10-20 seconds and release, repeat 2-3 times, being careful not to go over the limit.

Hand stretch

Start by standing straight with your shoulders and back relaxed. Reach your hands behind your back and intertwine your fingers, shrug your shoulders up and down and lift your hands off your back. Slowly bend your waist forward, keeping your back flat, don’t arch your back. Continue to lean forward and raise your hands above your head. This movement should hold for 10-20 seconds and release, repeat two to three times.

Knee flexor muscle tension

The knee flexors are a group of muscles along the front of the thigh. There are various ways to stretch your knee flexors, but here’s a simple way that you can do while standing. First, you stand on one leg (hold on to something sturdy if you need support). Bend your knees and bring your heels toward your buttocks. Bring your hands to touch your ankles.

Stand straight until you feel a slight tug along the front of your thighs and hips, hold this position for 20-30 seconds, release, and repeat with the other leg.

Hip tension

You stand straight, feet shoulder width apart, find a steady position to keep your hands up. Kick your left leg back and forth and repeat the same thing with your right foot, doing the movement continuously for 12-20 seconds.

Simple shoulder stretch

These are simple stretches that golfers can do during the warm-up before the round and as needed throughout the game. In particular, bend your elbows, bringing your hands in front of your chest; Turn your body from left to right and vice versa, hold for 10-15 seconds then switch sides.

Sciatic nerve tension

Glial is a band of fibrous tissue that extends from the outside of the hip to the knee side of the body. This area can be irritated by excessive knee and hip flexion. For golfers, this stretch can help keep the hips slim.

To stretch the glial, you need to stand straight, you cross one leg behind the opposite leg. Lean to the opposite side until you feel a stretch in the muscle bands; hold the pose for 30 seconds; Repeat 4 more times then switch sides.

Hip and lower back stretch

This move opens the hips and stretches the hip, groin, and lower back muscles, which is great for golfers. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, hands on the wall, and swing and rotate your legs in an arc from the inside out. Then you do the opposite and change legs repeatedly.
