Golf Injury Videos & Transcripts, Golf Equipment, Physiotherapists, Sports Medicine Physicians

Whether you're playing a few rounds of golf with colleagues or are on the green every day, there are many benefits to golf, including improved heart health, endurance, and feelings of well-being. However, while golf is a fun, active sport, you need to take precautions to avoid golf injuries. HealthChoicesFirst has a comprehensive library of golf injury videos and transcripts. We also have local fitness providers and golf equipment retailers. You'll find local physiotherapists, family physicians and sports medicine physicians.

Common Golf Injuries

Many golf injuries arise from improper swing (asymmetrical swing). Soft tissue golf injuries are common, as are lower back pain, golfer's elbow, and shoulder impingement. You can't prevent all golf injuries from occurring, but you can prevent many with the proper golf equipment and preparation for the game. Also, eating well and exercising regularly can be good protection against many common golf injuries.

Golf Injury Treatment

If you do experience a golf injury, it's important to seek professional help. You may make a golf injury worse by continuing to play, or by avoiding a checkup with your family doctor, sports medicine physician, or physiotherapist. Your health care provider can help treat your golf injury, and can provide you with advice on exercises to do at home to rehabilitate the injury. A physiotherapist may recommend treatments such as hot and cold therapy, a TENS machine, ultrasound, or electromagnetic stimulation.

If you've experienced a golf injury, talk to your local family doctor, sports medicine physician, or physiotherapist. Also, visit the HealthChoicesFirst sports injury library for golf injury videos and transcripts. Find local fitness providers, family doctors, sports medicine physicians, physiotherapists, and golf equipment retailers who can help you.
