Helping Rising Star David Puig Limit Side Bend to Alleviate Stress on Lower Back MyTPI 2024-02-23 | At just 22 years old, David Puig is one of the most talented young golfers in the world, but when we met him two years ago, he was already complaining of lower back pain. Though pain is multifactorial, we always want to investigate if mechanics or movement capabilities could be contributing factors. In David’s case, his movement screen matched his 3D data, suggesting that his body may be an underlying driver of inefficient technique. We call this a Body-Swing Connection. This video details how David was compensating for lack of mobility in his thoracic spine and lats by excessively side bending at the top of his golf swing, a position that is likely to create additional stress on his lower back.
