Bangkok Golfer Health Center
It is generally assumed that golf is a sport that results in few injuries, but this assumption is incorrect. In fact, approximately two-thirds of all golfers sustain injuries while playing golf. Amateur golfers primarily experience problems of the back and elbow (35% and 33% respectively) while professional golfers mainly sustain back and wrist injuries (24% and 23% respectively). Such injuries often cause anxiety for the golf enthusiast, sometimes hindering their ability to play a successful game.
The major causes of injury are usually the following:
- overexertion of a specific body part
- inadequate physical fitness
- incorrect or unsuitable posture
