Reach, Roll, and Lift
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 extend the arms out away from the body to increase the stretch resting the head on the ground.
Movement:
one arm at a time, reach one arm as far forward as you can, stretching the lat and mid back, roll the palm facing up, and lift (or attempt to lift) the straight arm off the ground, activating the shoulder.
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.
