Clarksville golfers, do you have back pain no matter what shot you’re hitting?
What if it’s not your back? Would you be able to tell if it’s something else like your glutes (that’s “butt muscles” for the non-medical among us)?
Glutes are notorious for taking breaks and letting your back do the work. Some signs it might be your glutes are if you spend lots of time sitting or if your back is yelling at you after you play 18 holes.
What to do?
Try some glute bridges. Lie on your back, bend your knees and put your feet flat. Push through your feet and lift your rear end 10 times. See if your glutes get back to work and your back stops yelling.
If it hurts, stop. Kaitlyn can help you figure it out.
She’ll watch you move, check your strength, and see if your glutes really are lazy or if something else is going on.
