My wife is about to start learning and playing golf, but she has bit of back problems. For normal everyday stuff, she’s fine, but she concerned that the golf swings might cause her back problem to get worse.

I am thinking golf swing would give back excercise thus helps with her back, but then I guess it could have an opposite reaction.

What do you think?

      Hello there,

      That is a valid concern and one not to be taken lightly. None of here knows the nature and extent of your wife’s back problems. Before she undertakes any type of exercise regimen she should talk with her doctor. He can best advise her as to whether will risks further injury.

      I would also suggest that due to her back problems, she does not want to run the risk of learning the game by trial and error. Even if playing golf properly would not harm her, improper swing techniques might increase the risk of harm. She really should consider getting lessons to start. Those can be private lessons or the less costly group lessons. Many golf courses offer beginner classes and in some cities the parks department also has golf classes available. Learning proper swing techniques would minimize the risks.

      I cannot say that the gold swing or the walking of the course will be therapeutic with regards to her back. I can say that golf has helped me maintain flexibility. So yes, there can be benefits to the exercise involved.

      Good luck to you and your wife. Hope she enjoys the game.
