Kneeling Thoracic Spine Rotations
All of us have imbalances that are created by replicating things over and over or simply by sitting or even inactivity. The human body will naturally compensate to what it does regularly but these compensations can later cause injuries and movement deficiencies in your body and swing mechanics. Corrective exercises are designed to keep your body aligned, balanced, and maintain good posture, to allow ideal efficient movements and injury free golf
Starting position:
Starting on hands and knees, leaving hands where they are in your hips as far back onto heels as possible once your hips are as low as you can. Bring one forearm, palm facing up, directly in front of the face. Bring the opposite hand behind the head, without putting tension on the head or neck..
Movement:
Maintaining the ground arm position, rotate your shoulders, torso and other arm up as far as you can. Return to the starting position. Repeat ten times, and also complete the opposite side
Notes: Notice any difference from side to side and add 3-5 reps of side with less mobility. Do not force stretch or movement, go until you feel tension, or tolerable stretch.
