Low back pain? Your hips and glutes might be the missing link.

When your hips are tight and your glutes are “offline,” your lower back picks up the slack… and pays the price.

Here’s the shift:
• Loosen what’s tight
• Activate what’s weak
• Move the way your body was designed to

Wake up your glutes BEFORE your workouts and golf!!!

Foam Roll and stretch

• Quads
• Glute Minimus/Medius

Because it’s not just about stretching more…
It’s about stretching SMART and activating what actually supports your back.

• Miniband Lateral Walks
• Glute Bridge hold

Strong glutes. Mobile hips. Happier low back.

Save this & give your body what it’s been asking for.

Try out this circuit next time you're traveling. All you need is a kettlebell and a dumbbell.

Why RSI Matters in Golf Training

Ever heard of RSI (Reactive Strength Index)? It’s a powerful metric we use to understand how efficiently an athlete turns strength into explosive movement.

In golf, power doesn’t just come from raw strength—it comes from how quickly you can produce force.

RSI primarily measures how efficiently an athlete transitions from eccentric loading(the backswing) to concentric force production (the downswing)

Why we measure RSI for golfers:
• Explosive power: Higher RSI often reflects better fast-twitch power production.
• Elastic energy use: Golf swings rely on the stretch-shortening cycle—RSI shows how well your body uses it.
• Movement efficiency: It reflects how efficiently your body can absorb force, redirect it, and change directions quickly.
• Neuromuscular readiness: It helps coaches see if your nervous system is primed for speed and power training.
• Fatigue monitoring: Drops in RSI can indicate accumulated fatigue or need for recovery.

By tracking RSI through tests like counter movement jumps, we get objective feedback on how your body is performing—and whether your training is actually improving your speed and power on the course.

Stronger. Faster. More efficient.

Fun fact of the day:
The number 1 injury in golf is lower back

85-90% of all golf-related back injuries… are the bottom two discs

So for the love of all things good
Please move your spine

Anti-rotation is great for a golf because it...

1. Improves Consistency & Accuracy
- Improve body control
- Reduce compensations
- Help golfers return the club to the same position more often

2. Anti-rotation builds functional core strength that transfers to:
-Better sequencing
- More clubhead speed
- Stronger impact position

3. Helps Prevent Injuries- Golfers rotate at high speed, often asymmetrically. Anti-rotation:
- Protects the lower back
- Reduces stress on hips and spine
- Keeps golfers playing longer

Want effortless power without swinging harder?
Start using the ground, not just your arms.

Ground Reaction Force (GRF) is the force you PUSH into the ground that gets sent back up through your body—like a spring you load and then release. The best players don’t just rotate… they push off the ground to create speed.
Here’s how GRF shows up in an efficient swing:

1. Lateral Force
Shifting pressure toward your lead side as you start the downswing helps you transfer energy from the lower body to the upper body and the club to the ball in the downswing.

2. Vertical Force
Pushing down = more speed. As you shift your weight to your lead side in the downswing, pushing vertical helps the club release with more speed.

3. Torque / Rotational Force
When you push both laterally and vertically with your lower body a a side bend and a twisting motion is created in your torso, which helps deliver more speed to the club as you unwind in your downswing.

Master the ground and you’ll create speed without feeling like you’re swinging out of your shoes.
