The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the head of the upper arm bone firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder.
Rotator cuff injuries are common among golfers. This deep shoulder stretch begins with laying on your back as the stretch practitioner locks the elbows at a 90 degree angle. Then, slowly pulling back while lowering into a squat. This will lead to strong engagement in that rotator cuff region. This will help to prevent injuries, strains and stiffness. This stretch also engages the torso, providing support for your take aways and follow throughs on the field.
Stretch tip:
1. Stand up straight and spread your feet about shoulder-width apart.
2. Cross your arms over your chest, take a deep breath.
3. Turn your torso to mimic your backswing.
4. Pause and hold 3-5 seconds. Alternate and Repeat.
