A good golf swing starts a solid base for support (hips, pelvis and lumbar spine). Heavily influenced base to provide stability throughout the swing and gives you the strength to move efficiently through the legs of the upper basin of the body to provide energy and optimal control. A solid foundation helps protect the joints and other supporting tissues against the forces of properstrong compression, shear and torsion that occur during the golf swing. Unfortunately, there are several factors that predispose a golfer to develop a pattern bad posture and muscle imbalances that lead to a weak base support.

Too many of our young lives we were stuck sitting in school addressed our offices. We finish school and begin our careers. Many of us find ourselves spending too much time in our cars or sitting in poorly designed chairs hunched in front of a computer. Over time, we are conditioned to have tight hip flexors and a lazy posture. Poor posture and muscle imbalance decrease musculoskeletal efficiency and disrupt communication within the neuromuscular system. Short tight muscles show a lower threshold of activation, which means that the fire at times when they should be less active or inactive. More dominant muscle activation leads to impaired neural control their muscles against. In short, "when a muscle becomes tight and overactive its opposing muscles become loose and lazy." Tight hip flexors create dominant hip extensors weak and lazy (buttocks) and put a chain reaction of dysfunction.

Tight hip flexors pull the pelvis into a forward bend leading to a curvature in the lumbar spine. As a result, the muscles of the abdominal wall weaken and lengthen the muscles of the lumbar spine is short and narrow. This model also produces alterations in the stabilization system of the body side. The hip abductors (muscles that move the legs away from the center of the body) with their opposing adductors (muscles that move the legs toward the center of the body) work to stabilize the pelvis during lateral movements. Inefficiency in the stabilization system inhibits lateral coordination and hinders proper weight transfer through the golf swing.

While we found the hip extensors are weak (buttocks), you can not drive the hips through the swing, hip flexors dominant hip is not opened to allow full rotation flexors tight cord to do the work of low hip extensors, but are close to a full rotation, and a lack of coordination to make contact with the ball consistently good. To make matters worse most golfers spend hours on the driving range to strengthen and reinforce the dysfunctional pattern. No wonder the average score of golf has not diminished in recent decades?

To break this cycle of failure and build a solid base of support that we must first establish coordinated muscle firing deep abdominal muscles stabilizing the hip flexors and extensors, abductors and adductors of the hip and spine flexors, extensors and rotators. This is achieved by activating and strengthening the weak and inhibited muscles and stretch tight muscles and dominant. Once these muscles have been rehabilitated and muscle coordination dismissal was established, then we can work to develop maximal strength and power.

The first step of this process is the development of deep abdominal and pelvic muscles. This is done through the abdominal key control. The abdominal brace differs from the traditional abdominal training encourages "abdominal cavity", also known as the "random" operation. With the "random" operation, we are told to pull or draw our navel to your spine. Research has shown that the design actually reduces the activation decreases abdominal and lumbar - pelvic-hop stability. The abdominal brace isometric contraction of the abdominal muscles means that the ABS is not inside or pushed shot. This maneuver should be the first step of each year, as a basis for stabilizing lumbar, pelvis and hip. The following exercise will allow you to control the movement and re-education of the lower abdominal wall and let the deep pelvic stabilizers to fire efficiently. properstrong
