Why your back hurts
When your thoracic spine and hips aren't moving the way they should, your lower back ends up doing something it was never designed to do — absorbing the full rotational force of your swing, hole after hole.
Seventy, eighty, ninety swings a round. That's not bad luck. That's mechanics. And mechanics can be fixed.
This protocol primes the joints that should be doing the work so your lower back doesn't have to. Five minutes before you tee off. That's it.
What's in the protocol
Thoracic Spine
Thoracic Self-Release
Unlocks the mid-back that's been compressed from sitting, driving, and desk work. Your thoracic spine needs to rotate freely so your lower back doesn't compensate.
30 sec per tight spot — work 3–4 spots
Thoracic Rotation
Thread the Needle
Restores the rotational range your swing demands. Most golfers have lost significant thoracic rotation from lifestyle — this gets it back before you tee off.
10 reps each side — slow and controlled
Hip Capsule
90/90 Hip Stretch
Opens the hip capsule so your hips can do their job in the swing. Restricted hips are one of the two most common reasons golfers develop back pain.
10 transitions — hold 2–3 seconds each side
Lumbar Stability
Lying Pelvic Rock
Teaches your core to control your pelvic position — the foundational skill that protects your lower back under the load of the golf swing.
10 slow reps — finish in neutral position
Core Anti-Rotation
Bird Dog
Builds the core stability that protects your spine under load. Not a crunch. This trains your core to resist rotation — exactly what it needs to do every swing.
5 reps each side — stop if your back moves
Five moves. Five minutes. Do it before your next round and reply back and tell me how your back feels on hole 1.
