Although I do not have back problems, I am an avid golfer and when I
have had temporary muscle or skeletal injuries, I have had to adapt my
golf swing to accomodate the discomfort. This video is a well-done and
professionally sound approach that allows the golfer who suffers from
chronic back pain to enjoy this challenging game.
It is obvious that some of the suggested swing techniques are unorthodox
to the healthy golfer but appear to be very effective in getting a good
swing at the ball with a minimal discomfort to the back.
The video includes several exercises to keep flexibility that would be
helpful to all golfers regardless of whether or not the player has back
problems. The exercises are a good preventive regimen to even healthy
golfers.
I recommend the video, especially to those with back problems.
