Jen Gloystein has started her “Swing into Health Golf Series” - here is the first entry!

Posted 06/06/2011

For those of you who may not know, I am an avid golfer! As a competitive golfer in high school and at the collegiate level, I have developed a strong passion in golf swing mechanics and injuries. Unfortunately, I did encounter a few golfing “aches and pains” over the years, but this lead me to where I am today, becoming a physical therapist, and working at the Hruska Clinic! My background in Postural Restoration has provided me with a whole new approach to golf swing mechanics, common golf-related injuries, and treatment.
As we embark upon prime golfing season, I invite you follow my “Swing into Health Golf Series.” I hope to provide you with information to help with swing mechanics, take a few strokes off your game, and most importantly play pain-free.
In the next few blogs, I plan to discuss the three planes of the body (sagittal, frontal and transverse) and their relationship to the golf swing. Sagittal plane activities involve bending and straightening of our body…we do a lot of these activities (walking, biking, elliptical, stairs, squats, bench press, leg press, etc.). Frontal plane activities require our body to move side-to-side (skiing or rollerblading) and transverse plane activities involve rotation of our body. Golf is very much a tri-planar sport requiring all three planes to work together correctly, and if one plane is not functioning properly it can lead to injury.

Check back soon to learn more about the sagittal plane’s influences on your golf game!
