Question: I have recently been experiencing pain in the side of my hip since starting to exercise more again. I can’t lie on either side at night and it hurts when I try to run or stand for too long, or if I try to hold my 2-year-old son on my hip. It even hurts after resting when I get up from sitting at my desk for long periods of time. My Doctor says I have ‘Trochanteric Bursitis’ - how do I fix it?

The golf swing is an extremely complex skill that requires most joints in the body to move through a large percentage of their maximal range of motion. The muscles moving and supporting these joints must perform at a high percentage of their capacity. Research shows injuries most commonly occur in amateur golfers due to swing patterns developed around physical limitations. As a result, overload occurs in certain areas of the body which creates further injury to pre-existing conditions. All golfers should be preparing their bodies to move as efficiently as possible. Read on for tips on conditioning the body for golf and improving performance.
