How many tee times have you cancelled this year?
Is your back doing more work than your swing?
How many Advil are in your golf bag right now?
Has your playing partner overtaken your handicap since your hip started playing up?
These are structural problems, not bad luck. I'm TPI Certified and have worked with amateur golfers, club professionals, and tour players. The restriction is in the kinematic chain — and it shows up in the swing before it shows up in the scorecard.

Swing mechanics
Restriction, load & return to sport
What the swing does to the body.
The swing generates rotational force through the spine, hips, and shoulders in under two seconds. When something in the chain doesn't move freely, compensation leads to injury — often somewhere not obviously connected.
Lower back pain
Restricted thoracic rotation forces the lumbar spine to compensate. Treat the mid-back first.
Golfer's elbow
Grip mechanics through impact. Often responds without injections if properly assessed.
Rib stress injuries
Repetitive rotation. Frequently misdiagnosed as a pulled muscle. Needs honest volume conversation too.
Hip restriction
When the hips can't rotate, the lower back does their job instead. Releasing the hip changes both.
Shoulder pain
Rotator cuff, AC joint, thoracic outlet — all distinct. The right diagnosis determines the treatment.
Lead knee pain
Significant downswing load. Traces back to hip mechanics and movement patterns, not the knee itself.
