1 EP #127: Functionize Health - How to Prevent Golf Injuries and Improve Your Game with Physical Therapy with John Braswell 14:16
Swing into better golf performance with this eye-opening conversation featuring physical therapist John Braswell from Functionize Health and Physical Therapy in Dunwoody. Ever wondered why your back aches after a round or why that nagging elbow pain won't go away? This episode delivers practical insights into the physical demands of golf and how to protect yourself from common injuries. John breaks down the five most prevalent golf-related injuries – from low back pain and golfer's elbow to rotator cuff, knee, and wrist injuries – explaining their causes and prevention strategies. You'll discover why traditional static stretching falls short and how dynamic warm-ups that mimic actual golf movements can dramatically reduce your injury risk. Perhaps most surprising is John's revelation that golf can be "a game of opposites" where swinging harder often produces worse results than focusing on proper technique and muscle engagement. The conversation dives deeper into three common swing faults that plague many golfers: early extension at impact, reverse spine angle, and over-the-top downswing. For each fault, John provides actionable solutions involving mobility work, strength training, and balance exercises. He also explains how the Titleist Performance Institute assessment protocol can identify your unique physical limitations and how targeted physical therapy can transform your game by addressing these issues at their source. Whether you're fighting through pain on the course or simply looking to improve your performance, this conversation offers valuable insights for golfers at every level. Ready to take your game to the next level while protecting your body for years of enjoyment on the course? This episode is your first step.…

Visit incognitowearix.com or contact through social media @incognitowearix to learn more about Jan's products. From Jan: My journey into self protection and learning about firearms & firearm safety lead me to create a company where fashion and function empower personal safety . It didn't take long to realize toting around a hefty purse was no way to live.

Truly having "nothing to wear" to support my concealed carry journey I decided not only would I solve my problem but the problem for many women who just want to look "normal" and not like a tactical dude.
