Lunges in 3 planes of movement combined with arm reaches in 3 planes of movement. (in both directions in each plane)

Standing eccentric abdominal core exercises, again in the 3 planes of movement, progressing to performing while balancing on one leg, while reaching with the other leg.

Medicine ball throws, again in the 3 planes of movement.

That's a start. My own routine contains variations on the above exercises.

Thanks Physioguy! Could you provide a little more specific details on exactly how to perform these exercises.

Vicki has given us some excellent stretches... do you have any others that might be good for hips, shoulders, and/or S.I. function?

I have talked to several golfers that have problems with the S.I. joint. Usually the right, for right handers.
