Forged Flexibility: Foam Rolling and Self-Therapy for Golf Performance
Foam Rolling for golf? Yes!
Use this book to perform your best on the golf course. Your body is the most important piece of equipment that you have. Learn to take care of it, so you can hit the ball farther, prevent injury, and have a more efficient golf swing.
There are endless offerings of foam rollers, stretching straps, massage balls and sticks, and other brightly colored tools out there on the internet. But, what do you do with them? When and how should you use them? How do they even work? Should I do static stretching, do I need a 3’ foam roller, or a lacrosse ball? Before you know it, you own a bunch of products that you know how to do only a couple of obvious things with. So, let’s get a clear picture of how to use these tools, when to use them, and how they work. When you have an understanding of what you’re doing you can get more out of your efforts. It’s like trying to shape a golf shot for the first time without any guidance; you’re basically just experimenting.
The golf swing is a simple movement, not necessarily an easy one, more like a life-long endeavor. The golf swing is an asymmetrical ballistic movement that puts serious demands on your joints, connective tissues, and muscles. If you play golf, you probably plan to play for your whole life. It is a scalable activity, that’s why we have all of those tee boxes. We all want more distance, a pretty golf swing, and to feel good during a round.
In this book you will learn how to take care of your body using self-therapy tools like a foam roller to:
Prevent Injury by restoring symmetry and function to your body.
Increase your power by increasing the range of motion available to you in your golf swing.
Develop a more efficient golf swing by taking the brakes off of those tight muscles that cause compensations in your swing.
Improve your ability to recover after a round.
Use the mobility sessions to prepare for a round of golf so you can perform your best.
Build a daily practice to help you move well and feel good in life.
This book is much more than your typical ebook. It contains over 100 video links to help you see and do the movements. So, know that your device will need internet access to get the most out of the content inside. This book is a valuable resource that will help you not only understand your body, but how it works in your golf swing. The book is organized into sections making navigation easy (The Thoracic and Cervical Spines, The Shoulder, The Forearm/wrist, Hips and Upper leg, and Lower Leg). Each movement has a follow along video with instructions, but also included are some short silent videos that you can refer back to when you just need a quick reminder of what you are doing.
There is much more than foam rolling in this book. And you will need more than a foam roller. You will need a foam roller, massage stick, therapy ball, peanut ball, and a jump stretch band.
