Ep 211: Why Rest, Rehab, and Injections Aren’t Fixing Your Golf Back or Elbow Pain

If your back or elbow pain “gets better” when you rest—but comes right back the moment you return to golf—this episode is for you. In this episode of The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn breaks down why golfers often get stuck in a frustrating loop of treatment, rest, and reinjury. He explains the real root causes behind recurring golf-related back and elbow pain, why many rehab plans fail to address them, and what a proper clinical assessment should include. You’ll learn: Why limited hip internal rotation and shoulder external rotation are the #1 drivers of golf elbow and back pain How treating symptoms alone (dry needling, injections, exercises) misses the real problem The critical difference between being “pain-free” and being ready to return to golf Why return-to-play protocols are often skipped—and how that leads to reinjury What smart questions golfers should ask their physical therapist, chiropractor, or surgeon This episode isn’t about blaming providers—it’s about helping golfers become informed advocates for their own health, so they can swing fast, play longer, and stay pain-free. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf
