I used to swing without worrying about my low back🏌️‍♂️

Our patients tell us the hardest part of golf injuries isn’t losing distance.

It’s losing confidence.

They remember when 18 holes felt easy — when a full driver swing didn’t end with a pinch in the back.

Now, by hole 14, they’re reaching for ibuprofen and hoping it holds.

The pain turns every swing into a guess: Will this one hurt?

They’ve tried stretching, massage, even a new brace.

But nothing sticks.

Because the real problem isn’t in the back — it’s in the hips.

When your hips can’t move the way they need to, your lower back has to twist and bend to make up the difference.

If your hips can’t rotate enough, that rotation has to come from somewhere else.

The only place left is your low back.

And your low back isn’t built for that kind of torque on every swing.

In fact, anatomically, forcing the low back to rotate only creates problems.

That’s where your hips and mid-back (thoracic spine) are supposed to come in.

They’re designed to rotate, while your low back stays stable — acting like the strong bridge that transfers power between your upper and lower body.

So by the back nine, when the muscles around your hips are tired and stiff, your lower back ends up taking all the stress.

That’s when you feel that deep, nagging ache — the one that lingers long after the round is over.

That’s why quick fixes don’t last.

They treat the pain, not the pattern.

At Apex, we look deeper.

We measure how your hips, core, and back share the work of a golf swing — then build a plan to restore balance.

It’s not about “stretching more.”

It’s about moving the right way, so you can play pain-free again.

You don’t have to keep guessing what’s wrong.

You just need the right eyes on the real cause.
