hi i'm the digital golf doc and i want to help
you improve your shoulder turn i've got a strong hunch so you've tried this before pulled
exercises off of google or out of a magazine from some no-name who says improve your shoulder
turn someone who probably doesn't understand what you need to do to improve your shoulder turn
things like focusing on rip mobility upper spine mobility shoulder blade control and position
oblique flexibility well i spent a lot of time earning my doctorate working in a biomechanics lab
so i understand these specifics to improve your shoulder term i put together a detailed plan so
you can improve yours finally all you have to do is follow the details execute perform them twice a
day and i can promise you by the end of this week you're going to be turning farther than
ever and hitting the ball farther than ever all right let's get into movement one
and remember pay attention to the details that is how you will get the absolute most
effectiveness out of these movements don't cheat them you'll regret it so we're going to go
ahead and position ourselves lying on our side 90 degrees of hip and knee flexion we're going
to go ahead and drop that bottom hand on the knee that's going to help us monitor the stability of
our lower body because we want it to stay still during this movement we're going to focus
all the movement to the upper back rotate back reaching our shoulder blade for the ground
once you're there you can take a big deep breath on the exhale push the shoulder blade down for
one more and then you're going to return back to that starting position this is going to
be good for 10 repetitions per side twice a day again remember to hit the finer details of
these exercises and i promise will be effective all right movement two lumbar locked thoracic
rotation we're going to go to our hands and knees rock our weight back so our butt's going
toward our heels drop our forearms to the ground once you're comfortable there you're going
to bring a hand right up on top of the head stabilize the forearm and take the elbow of
the one on your head and open as far as you can to the wall big big chest opening here
really feel that tension in your upper back that's you feeling your thoracic spine
mobilize again keep the details in mind and we're going to hit this one
for 15 repetitions two sets per day all right let's hit movement three as we're
starting to loosen up gonna start standing hip distance apart i'm gonna drop ourselves down
position our forearm right there between the knees now you want to give yourself a nice strong
squeeze of your knees together make sure that forearm cannot go anywhere drop an arm down and
then you're going to swing it out to the side and all the way up top again open that chest as far as
you possibly can feel the motion in the back feel those obliques stretch on the sides really improve
that mobility again i know you're hitting all the details here which is beautiful we're going to
hit this one for 15 reps aside two sets on the day last but not least we are going to go into a
wide stance for the windmill turns gonna drop an arm down to the ground make sure we've
got good stable contact on the ground there other arm drops down with it and then while we
keep the first one in place we rotate the other one up and over reaching the chest for that
side wall again big big time opening that's the only way you're going to get that long back
swing to really put some power in your golf swing now we're going to keep doing this we're
going to hit 15 repetitions aside for two sets i'll show you a quick modification here if
you can't get your hand all the way to the ground maybe your hamstrings are a little tight
let's grab a small object like a yoga block here we're going to perform it just the
same way as you do without the block just make sure you keep on it and hopefully in a
week or two you can drop all the way to the ground here we go with the review we've got four
different exercises we're performing them all twice per day and we're going to find
a bigger shoulder turn in just a few days now if it's not your upper back holding
your back you need to make sure your hip mobility is locked in too so go ahead and
