The Way We Live Affects the Way We Play Golf

With today’s modern lifestyle of sitting, whether behind the desk or on the couch watching TV, many golfers don’t possess enough strength or flexibility to perform a fundamental golf swing, and consequently end up with poor posture.  In my opinion, it’s very hard to play good golf with poor posture, and I believe that the most neglected aspect of physical training and golf instruction is…

With today’s modern lifestyle of sitting, whether behind the desk or on the couch watching TV, many golfers don’t possess enough strength or flexibility to perform a fundamental golf swing, and consequently end up with poor posture.  In my opinion, it’s very hard to play good golf with poor posture, and I believe that the most neglected aspect of physical training and golf instruction is analyzing an individual’s posture.  

For example, when you see a person with forward head and rounded shoulders, that person invariably has muscle tightness and restrictions in the back and chest muscles – thus inhibiting a functional hip and shoulder turn.

To restore a person back into proper alignment, I believe that in most cases, a proper flexibility program must be administered first– then followed by a strengthening protocol.  In too many cases, I see people get on strengthening programs first – which often simply ‘Strengthens their Dysfunction’ and often leads to more injuries and worse golf.

POSTURE TIPS:

FIRST THING in the morning, stand against a wall for 2 – 3 minutes with a 4-6 inch rolled up towel behind your lower back.  This will start the process of training your body to find its’ natural design.  Repeat this process before you go to bed.

These are simple things to do Off the course, which will certainly help your

The Perfect Christmas Gift for You or Your Friends

THE ALIGNMED POSTURE SHIRT – FOR MEN OR WOMEN

Whether it’s improving  one’s Flexibility, Health, Golf Swing, etc., I sincerely believe that a person has to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN WELL BEING , and change their actions and belief systems.  In other words, Self Improvement is an ‘Inside Job’. 

Nobody can give you good health or a golf game.  This also goes for POSTURE RESTORATION. 

HOWEVER, a few years ago, I came across an amazing product called THE ALIGNMED POSTURE SHIRT which automatically improves your posture – JUST BY WEARING IT! 

With the Bands stitched into the fabric, the shirt automatically pulls your shoulders back, Lifts your Chest, and does wonders for your sense of well being.  On a side note, I have most of my Tour Players wear the shirt – specially when they travel on airplanes , and they’re always amazed when the flight is over at how tall they’re standing!

If you haven’t tried the Alignmed Posture Shirt, I highly recommend that you get one – and get one for a friend as a Christmas Present. 

Trust me, it’s not to late to ‘GET IT ON’!

Counter the effects of sitting down with the AlignMed Posture Shirt

What can we do about our Posture?

I feel that it’s No Coincidence that we’re seeing an increase in Health & Fitness Problems, and that people are sitting down at desks and computers more than ever before in our history!
Because our bodies were WERE DESIGNED TO MOVE – and instead are sitting down too much, the major systems in our body including CIRCULATORY – RESPIRATORY – CARDIOSVASCULAR – MUSCULOSKELETAL, AND EVEN HORMONES begin to lose their functions – and spawn health problems.
Obviously this also affects our Posture – which was designed to remain Upright and Vertical. As you can see in the photo, when our bodies FIGHT GRAVITY by sitting down, we are adding STRESS TO VIRTUALLY ALL OF OUR BODY’S SYSTEMS!

In addition to embarking on a ‘PROPER’ Flexibility and Posture Restoration Program, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that my people wear the ALIGNMED POSTURE SHIRT, which is designed in such a manner that it automatically helps you maintain the INTEGRITY OF YOUR POSTURE – JUST BY WEARING IT!

“Roger, I’ve been wearing the Alignmed Posture Shirt daily (I also wear it when I fly) and am seeing major changes! The shirt is great and really works!”
~Russell Knox

I have my Tour Players wear it as much as possible and especially when they travel. I’m sure that the ALIGNMED POSTURE SHIRT will help you too. On and Off the Course!

Hi i’m Roger Fredericks

Our bodies will adapt itself and mold itself into whatever activities its doing for long periods of time
For example if we sit down in desk, cars, or computers etc eventually our bodies are going to end up with forward tilted hips, rounded shoulders, and forward head.

If we’re hitting millions of golf balls through our life or playing tennis. If we are doing things that are primarily one sided which is almost what all sports are. We are going to end up with muscle imbalances on the tighter dominant side.
For example almost all golfers when you look at them, their right shoulder will be lower than their left. What that means is the muscles on the right shoulder has become tighter and more restricted and is dominating the weaker side muscles
Bad posture is a result of muscle imbalances, and muscle imbalances will inevitably lead to friction on the joints which then lead to pain. What should we do about it?

The best way is to get a proper flexibility and posture restoration program designed specifically for you to correct these imbalances, make the tight muscles more flexible and the weaker muscle stronger etc. But there is another way i have found. I have come across a fabulous new product called the AlignMed Posture Shirt which is terrific. It actually pulls your shoulders back, tuck your hips under, and get your joints back to proper alignment just by wearing it.

Eventually your body will mold itself back into perfect alignment. I have learned that this shirt will keep you in proper alignment for days on end.

So i hope you’ll take it from me and thousands of other people that have tried the AlignMed Posture Shirt and i hope you do not waste any time to get it on!
