SI Dysfunction

[Vickie]

Yes, Lagster, You are talking about the temperapedic bed, I think. I have seen it, layed on it and think it feels great. I have your basic (not inespensive) Sealy Posturpedic Firm Mattress and find it quite satisfactory.

When I start with a client there are three places we begin. With their mattress, with their supplements, and then with the workout program they already use. 50% of the time we replace the ten year old mattress, most of the time I have them finish their supplements and reduce the amount they take, and I try to work always with what a person thinks they need and build from there in their exercises.

Being comfortable in your body and your sport is not rocket science but it is science and takes a certain amount of attention. As Mike posted, however, the TGM technique has reduced the torquing problem I have had with most of my clients. For people on this site, Golf should not provide additional incentive for back pain. In fact, the mechanical specificity should be considered a plus as it makes you more aware of your "alignment" mechanics in general

Happy Golfing. Vickie
