2. C-Posture |
||||
|
33.1% of players have C-Postures |
||||
|
C-Posture occurs when the shoulders are slumped forward at address
and there is a definitive roundness to the back from the tailbone
to the back of the neck. If the player fails to keep the backswing
short and wide he will find it difficult to maintain posture as he
swings the club back. Any excessive rounding of the upper back or thoracic spine in the golf posture is termed a "C-Posture". This posture can simply be the result of a poor set up position and can be corrected by physically adjusting the posture to a more neutral spine. Unfortunately, the majority of C-Postures are caused by a series of muscle imbalances and joint restrictions that are developed over many years. Simply telling yourself to stop rounding your shoulders or trying to straighten your spine will not make a significant change and can be detrimental to your golf swing. Actually, most of the TPI research shows that if your C-Posture is a result of muscle and joint imbalances, the only way to correct the "S" or "C" posture for good is to address these limitations in the gym. The most significant joint restriction seen in the C-Posture is the lack of thoracic spine extension (limited backward bend or arching of the upper back). That limitation can make it difficult to eliminate the C-Posture. This can lead to a severe loss of spinal rotation, which in turn limits the ability to create a good backswing turn. We use the Reach Toll and Lift Test, Overhead Deep Squat Test and the Lat Test to screen for C-Posture. |
