Is an Injury Holding You Back From Breaking 100?

Struggling to break 100—even though your swing feels solid? You might be dealing with hidden injuries like low back strain, golfer’s elbow, or shoulder pain that are limiting your power and control without you even realizing it.

At Dynamic Sports Medicine, we specialize in identifying and treating the underlying movement issues that impact your performance. Through a combination of cupping, IASTM (scraping), joint and soft tissue work, and movement-based therapy, we help golfers move better, swing stronger, and play pain-free.

Whether you’re managing a nagging injury or trying to avoid one altogether, our individualized, hands-on approach is designed to support both wellness and long-term performance.

Low Back Strain: Stabilize Your Swing at the Core

Low back pain is one of the most common complaints among golfers, and one of the most limiting. The repeated rotation and force generated during your swing demands a stable, mobile foundation. Without proper trunk mobility and core control, the lower back takes on more stress than it should.

At DSM, we use:

  • Joint mobilization and soft tissue therapy to restore rotation and reduce tension
  • Targeted core stability training to support the spine and reinforce proper swing mechanics
  • Movement retraining to correct compensations and optimize your posture throughout the swing

This approach doesn’t just relieve pain, it builds a more efficient and powerful foundation for your game.

Golfer’s Elbow: Don’t Let Tendon Pain Control Your Grip

Golfer’s elbow is an overuse injury that often develops gradually. Even if it’s not painful on every shot, it can quietly interfere with your grip strength, timing, and follow-through.

We treat it with:

  • Hands-on therapy to reduce irritation and restore tissue health
  • Eccentric strengthening and tendon-loading exercises to rebuild durability
  • Biomechanical assessments to correct movement inefficiencies that contribute to the problem

By addressing both the source of pain and how you move, we help keep you in control without flaring up during your round.

Rotator Cuff Pain: Regain Range and Power

Shoulder pain can seriously limit your backswing, follow-through, and confidence at impact. The rotator cuff muscles are responsible for controlling your shoulder through the full arc of your swing—and when they’re restricted or inflamed, your entire motion can break down.

Here’s how we treat it:

  • Cupping and IASTM (scraping) to break up restrictions and improve soft tissue mobility
  • Functional movement therapy to restore shoulder control and range of motion
  • Strength work tailored to golf-specific positions to prevent re-injury and restore power

Our goal is to give you back full range and build the strength to swing without hesitation.

Every Swing Starts With Movement

At Dynamic Sports Medicine, we believe that elite performance starts with optimized movement. Whether you’re working through pain or trying to improve your swing mechanics, our goal is always the same: to treat the root cause of dysfunction, not just the symptoms.

Our therapies don’t just get you back on the course. They help you stay there longer, play stronger, and perform at a higher level.
