Are you treating a golf injury with a general physical therapist? You might be wasting your time and risking re-injury. In this episode, host Chris Finn explains why a one-size-fits-all approach to rehab is failing golfers and why seeking a golf-specific specialist is crucial for getting back on the course safely and effectively. Discover the critical differences between general and specialized care, and learn why simply eliminating pain isn't enough. Chris breaks down a real-world case study of a golfer with debilitating back pain, revealing how a golf-specific assessment uncovered the true root causes—limited hip and shoulder rotation—that a general practitioner missed. Key Points:  The limitations of traditional PT and insurance-based care for athletes. How a proper diagnosis goes beyond the symptom to identify underlying mechanical issues in your swing. The three essential steps of a successful golf rehab program: pain relief, mobility restoration, and strength building. Why addressing the root cause not only prevents future injuries but can also increase your clubhead speed and performance. Head to our website https://par4success.com/ to take our home assessment! 

Host Chris Finn dives into how hours in a chair—at work, while traveling, or just relaxing—can cause stiffness in your hips, spine, and shoulders. This is especially important for golfers over 50, who naturally lose muscle elasticity with age. Key Points: How sitting sabotages your golf swing by limiting essential mobility, particularly for older golfers. The science behind movement and rotation—and why you need both for a consistent, powerful swing. Simple, actionable steps to fight back, including Chris’s “five-for-five” rule: for every 5 hours you sit, spend 5 minutes working on your least mobile joint.
