All Golfers Should Be Doing These Stretches Daily.
Flexibility can improve your game and reduce risk of injury. Please consult your doctor before any physical activity. Here are a few good stretches for golfers:
Chest Stretch: Stand with your arms behind your back, interlock your fingers and straighten your arms. Lift your arms up as high as you can, pulling your shoulder blades together. Hold for 20-30 seconds.
Shoulder Turn Stretch: Stand with your arms crossed in front of your chest, right arm over left. Slowly turn your body to the right as far as you can, holding for 20-30 seconds. Then switch sides.
Tricep Stretch: Raise your right arm straight up, then bend it so your hand touches your upper back. Use your left hand to gently press your elbow towards your head. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch sides.
Lower Back Stretch: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Gently lift your right leg, holding it with your hands behind your thigh. Pull your leg towards your chest until you feel a stretch in your lower back. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch sides.
Quadricep Stretch: Stand on one leg and hold on to something for balance. Bend your other leg and grab your ankle, pulling it towards your buttocks until you feel a stretch in your quadriceps. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch sides.
Remember to always warm up before stretching and to stretch gently, never forcing your body into a position. It's also important to listen to your body and only stretch to a point of slight discomfort. If you feel pain, stop the stretch.
