This is a blog post and video that explains one very key idea that'll help you swing a golf club better, with more precision.
It could also help every single one of us age safely and without pain.
According to the Harvard Medical School:
The muscles and ligaments surrounding your spine can weaken with age or from an injury, which can make movements like twisting, stretching, lifting, and bending difficult.
"The lower back often has to compensate for this lack of mobility, which places greater stress and burden on its muscles," says Eric L'Italien, a physical therapist with Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Center.
People with back pain often fear movement, which can make their back stiff and their pain even worse. "Yet, a stable spine is also more flexible, so it can support a full range of natural movements," explains L'Italien. "And healthier movements reduce pressure on the low back and lower the risk of pain and injury."
Spine stability is achieved with a balanced approach to your entire core musculature. "This means you engage all the core muscles at once — from the abdominals to the whole back," says L'Italien.
This is where Power Plate can play a role in keeping you safe and pain free, with one simple exercise you can do every day for a few minutes.
Our unique, comfortable and powerful nano-vibration technology strengthens the muscles and ligaments that support your spine.
The vibrations also help to drive fluid between the different parts of your spine and help keep the nerves that run up and down your spine in high performance mode.
How To Perform This Simple Exercise On The Power Plate:
You take a golf club or broom and you hold it against the back of your head, the middle of your spine, and bottom of your spine.
You use both hands to do this.
You turn the Power Plate MOVE onto setting 3, which is 40hz. 40 nano-vibrations per second.
You step on the plate in this position and you gently squat down 6 inches and lean over. And then you get completely upright.
You do this for a few minutes. What's happening here is that you are bracing your spine in the proper angle to hit a golf ball.
As you do this movement, the vibration from the Power Plate is going up into your body, through your spine into your neck.
The tiny muscles that surround your spine get activated and become stronger.
What you are doing here is building a strong axis the forms the foundation of a proper golf swing.
The stronger your axis, the more precise your swing will be.
A spine that is weak and out of alignment, will produce a highly inconsistent swing.
This is one of many reasons that many PGA TOUR pros use the Power Plate.
NFL training centers also use Power Plate.
Saddlebrook in Florida has a separate gym that is reserved for the pro athletes that train there and live there.
Multiple Power Plates in that gym for pro athletes to use.
IMG is another pro sports training center in Florida that has dozens of Power Plates.
The point here is that Power Plate really has been this hidden secret for athletes.
