Knee Pain/Golf Injuries

Knee Pain/Golf Injuries

Injuries to the knee are often a classic result of a problems elsewhere in the body, usually the hip and ankle joint regions. We like to think of the knee as the ‘good guy’, but with knee pain it is being perceived as the ‘bad guy’ because it’s being asked to take on stress that was intended for the hip and ankle regions. Combine this altered pattern of mobility with aggressive compression and rotation during the golf swing and knee symptoms are sure to arise. How’s your range of motion in your hip and ankle?
