Impingement Syndrome
Shoulder pain in Golfers can occur when the muscles situated around the Shoulder become
inflamed or damaged during the continued swinging of the golf club. The Rotator Cuff issues
with Impingement Syndrome being the main culprit begin with inflammation, if this
inflammation is not addressed and continues over a long period of time, partial tears may
develop which may eventually become a tear all the way through one or more of the Rotator
Cuff muscles, TMS Well Being can help you and hopefully avoid the latter part of this
scenario.
Lower Back Pain
Lower Back Pain is the most common issue with Golfers, even the most Professional Golfer
suffers with this issue and their swing is generally perfect. When it comes to golfers like you
and me who perhaps don’t swing perfect this is when the spine deviates from the vertical
during the swing and the pressure is placed on the Lower Back. It would be an advantage for
us to seek advice on our swing, in the meantime come and see TMS Well Being and we can
help eliminate this Lower Back Pain making your next round a little more comfortable.
Knee Pain
Weight bearing and rotational forces on the knee during the golf swing, in addition to
prolonged walking can aggravate existing knee injuries and lead to knee pain, particularly in
the leading knee. Treatment to the Quadriceps and Hamstring muscle will be carried out by
TMS Well Being, with strength exercises being encouraged to provide support for the
affected joint.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis is thickening of the plantar fascia, a band of tissue running underneath the
sole of the foot, the thickening can be due to recent damage or injury, or can be because of an
accumulation of smaller injuries over the years.
Plantar fasciitis can be painful and a number of factors can contribute to Plantar Fasciitis and
the symptoms include pain in the bottom of your foot, especially at the front or centre of the
heel bone, pain is usually worse when first rising in the morning.
It can be caused by taking up a new form of exercise like running and one area TMS Well
Being will look at in the very first instance is tight calves and Achilles tendons and work on
these areas which in turn should limit that pain you might be experiencing.
