Low Back Pain (LBP) - The Most Common Injury

LBP is the single most frequent injury, accounting for up to 34% of all golf-related complaints1. The key mechanism is cumulative stress from the high compressive and shear forces up to 8 times body weight) generated during the swing2.

Specific Recommendation (Validated by TPI/Medical Reviews)

Prevention/Conditioning

Core Strength & Endurance: Focus on exercises (e.g., Pilates, planks, medicine ball work) to stabilize the trunk and protect the spine from rotational forces3.

Mobility

Hip and Thoracic Spine Rotation: Lack of rotation in the hips or mid-back forces the lower (lumbar) spine to compensate, significantly increasing injury risk. Mobility drills are crucial4.

Swing Mechanics

Reduce Lateral Shear: Work with a professional instructor to correct swing faults like "reverse spine angle" or excessive lateral side-bend through impact5.

Kymira Technology

Reduce Fatigue & Stiffness: Utilize the Back & Shoulders Collection during play and rest. The fabric harnesses your body heat to enhance circulation, which supports core muscle endurance during the swing and accelerates the clearance of metabolic byproducts that cause stiffness.
