Golf Recovery & The 10 Minute Cushion

PGA Golfers like Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington, Lee Westwood, David Duval and more than 75 percent of golfers have used spinal alignment and spinal stretching in order for them to keep playing a tournament and recover between events. But you don’t have to be a professional golfer to benefit from spinal stretching. Golfers all over the world, also reap the performance-boosting rewards of regular spinal stretching and care!

On the golf course, physical exertion is intermittent. A golfer will violently swing 50-70 so while playing 18 holes. The average golfer will swing their club 75-100 km/hr.

There are three main reasons of golf injuries: poor posture, lack of flexibility and poor swing mechanics. The root cause of poor mechanics is often the result of a physical restriction or mechanical dysfunction, which may be alleviated my using The 10 Minute CushionTM. Lack of flexibility can also be addressed by spinal stretching. The 10 Minute CushionTM is ideally suited to deal with poor posture and poor mechanics.

The golf swing requires the spine to rotate, bend and laterally extend. This requires flexibility that is golf-specific. The 10 Minute CushionTM has been tested by over 60 Golfers and on average after 10 days (10 minutes 2x’s a day), each golfer increased their range of motion in the spine between 8-10 degrees in rotation. This lead to 30-50 more yards in their game!

It is important to maintain movement in your spine so you are able to bend properly and make the movements necessary to have great swing mechanics and less injuries on the course.

The unique curved design of The 10 Minute CushionTM allows you when lying on it properly to expand the spinal muscles and ligaments, stretches the chest, ribcage, hip flexors and shoulder muscles. The shoulders rotate and are drawn backwards resetting the shoulder position. The neck is extending in an elongated position as gravity is used to reset the neck, shoulders and the spine in healthy strong and safe position.
