Why Your Driving Range Routine is Destroying Your Lower Back | Chris Ownbey Golf Fitness Why Your Driving Range Routine is Destroying Your Lower Back It is a scene I see every single day: a golfer pulls into a driving range near me, rushes to the kiosk, grabs a “Jumbo” bucket of 100 balls, and […]
I still remember the afternoon my ‘proactive’ recovery session turned into a three-day ordeal of ice packs and regret. There I was, sprawl-legged on the living room rug, trying to work out a knot in my lower back with a foam roller I’d just bought. I rolled directly over my lumbar spine with all my […]
I’ll never forget the day I tried to lie flat on the floor for a quick nap, only to realize my lower back absolutely refused to touch the carpet. There was this massive, stubborn gap that made me look like I was trying to do a bridge exercise while just lying there. For months, I […]
I was standing over a mountain of lasagna-crusted pans, and my lower back felt like it was being compressed by a heavy-duty vice. I’m sure you know that dull, heavy ache—the one that starts right above your tailbone and radiates outward until you’re forced to lean your forehead against the kitchen cabinet just to take […]
It was 3:14 PM last Tuesday. My eyes were burning, my temples felt like they were being squeezed in a vice, and I couldn’t focus on a single word on my screen. I reached for the ibuprofen—again. That was my life for years. I thought I just needed new glasses or maybe a quieter office. […]
I was standing at a backyard BBQ last summer, scrolling through a photo someone just took of me, and I honestly didn’t recognize the person in the picture. My head was jutting forward like a turtle, and my shoulders were so rounded it looked like I was permanently bracing for a cold wind. It wasn’t […]
I remember sitting in my car, three hours into a grueling road trip, feeling like someone had poured wet concrete into my lower back. I was doing everything “right”—or so I thought. I had the lumbar support dialed in, I was sitting tall, and I was trying to keep my core tight. But my spine […]
I remember three years ago, I didn’t get out of bed; I surrendered to the floor. My feet hit the carpet, and my lower back felt like it had been fused together with industrial-grade epoxy overnight. I spent ten minutes hunched over like a question mark, just trying to shuffle to the coffee pot. It […]
I rolled over to hit the snooze button this morning and it felt like a hot poker was jammed into the side of my neck. I couldn’t look left, I couldn’t look down, and I definitely couldn’t check my blind spot while pulling out of the driveway. It is that miserable, ‘robotic’ feeling where you […]
I remember the morning I finally hit a wall. I was twenty-eight years old, reaching for a simple carton of milk, and my back completely locked up. It wasn’t a sports injury or a dramatic fall; it was just the culmination of years spent hunched over a laptop. I spent months trying every fancy gym […]
