| Re: Lower back pain!
Leepy I have a PhD in back pain owing to a collision – while stopped on a motorcycle I was re-ended by an impaired car driver.
In addition to the other replies, a firm bed is crucial. If your bed no longer has the proper springs/supports your ligaments will be stretched and you will feel it in the morning and later in the day. The literature says as much, and I didn’t realize the connection until I went on vacations and my back hurt much less – the hotel beds were much better than mine. If you want to correct your posture you will need to build your core muscles.
In terms of golf, I heard or read, and I may need to be corrected on this point, but Tiger adopted a more “rounded” swing which puts less pressure on your back and is easier on the body, especially as you age.. So there are different kinds of golf swings and some put more pressure on your back then others. I have thought about this, since sometimes after a round my lower back is very sore– so a more rounded type of swing is something I would consider.
Best of luck,
James
