What's the worst round of golf? For me it was the one where I had to stop playing because of lower back pain. Here are some simple steps to prevent back pain from cutting your round short:
A strong core is an incredibly important part of the body's natural "bracing function" - the combination of abdominal and lumbar muscles working together to support the weight of the upper body, as well as supporting proper, safe and ergonomic movements of the body when bending, twisting, lifting and performing most everyday activities.
LISTEN TO THIS: What can improve your mood, boost your ability to fend off infection, and lower your risk for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and colon cancer?

Back and joint pain can rob you of life's simple pleasures — you may no longer look forward to playing with your children and/or grandchildren, walking your dog, gardening, golfing, or chasing a tennis ball across the court. Even the basics of getting out of bed, brushing your teeth or just making it through your day, like getting into the car or carrying laundry and groceries, can become sharp reminders of your limitations when you are suffering from back and joint pain. But the right movements and exercises performed properly can be a long-lasting way to subdue back and joint pain. Although it might seem that movement and exercise would aggravate the aching back and joints, this is simply not the case. Movement and exercise can actually help to relieve back and joint pain in multiple ways.

It might seem like they’re all the same, but a “regular” claw hammer is different from a ball-peen hammer or a rubber mallet, which are all different from a sledge hammer. Each type of hammer is suitable for a specific situation. “Back braces” are different as well and each style brace is more suitable for achieving a specific treatment goal. So before you buy a brace, do your homework to make sure you get exactly what you need. Hopefully this information will help.
