Effective Hip Stretches for Golf

Effective Hip Stretches for Golf

When it comes to the golf swing, we need flexible and mobile hips.  You may notice if your hip area is tight, your low-back is tight, because everything is connected.  If one area of your body is injured, you compensate elsewhere.

Let's combat this with these 4 stretches.   Your hips will  become more mobile and flexible.


Side to Side Stretch

• Have your feet wider than shoulder width

• Hands on your hips, lean to one side and hold, you may bend at the waist

• Feel a stretch in your inner thighs

• Switch to the other side. 

• You can also put your hands on the ground and move side to side .

Pigeon Stretch

• Bend front leg in and straighten other leg behind you

• Keep hips square to the front

• Some of you may feel a stretch in your legs and hips

• For more of a stretch, bend over your front leg.

• You can reach your arms as far in front of you as you like.

• Allow your body to sink into this stretch. Enjoy this stretch.

• Repeat on both sides

Hamstring Stretch (with magic ring)

• Lay on your back with one foot flat on the floor. Use magic ring or a towel and put around your foot.

• Straighten your leg straight up. Try to keep leg as straight as possible.

• For more of a stretch, lower your leg out to the side and hold.

• Repeat 1-2 times. Switch to the other leg.

Hip Flexors/Psoas Stretch/Quad Stretch

• Foot on ground, knee at 90. Kneel on 1 knee

• Keep knees between ankles and toes

• Slight lean forward (again keep knees between ankle and toes). Arms up. Look up. Feel a stretch in front of leg and throughout front of body.

• More quad stretch...grab foot behind you and pull up.

• Raise opposite arm up. Feel a stretch in quadricep.
