Dr. Eric Acevedo on Strength, Mobility and Playing Pain-Free Golf Longer

Dr. Eric Acevedo, owner of BackNineStrength in Eatontown, explains why the area causing a golfer's pain is not always where the problem begins and why some apparent swing faults cannot be corrected through instruction alone. A Doctor of Chiropractic, certified athletic trainer and Titleist Performance Institute-certified golf-injury specialist, Acevedo details how movement patterns, strength deficiencies and physical limitations can affect rotation, force production and a golfer’s ability to control the swing.

Acevedo also examines the balance between strength and mobility, what a golf-specific physical assessment can reveal, and why chasing speed without the ability to control additional range of motion can create new problems. He explains how New Jersey golfers can prepare their bodies more effectively before a round, train around the demands of work and family, and build the strength, recovery habits and physical durability required to continue playing pain-free golf for years.
