Thoracic Rotation for Golf Swing
Thoracic rotation for the golf swing turns the upper back without dumping twist into the lumbar spine—daily open-books and banded rotations support backswing depth.
Thoracic rotation for the golf swing lets the upper back turn while the pelvis stays relatively stable—reducing low-back compensation and helping shoulder plane. Quadruped open-books, seated rotations with a band, and foam-roller extensions are low-fatigue staples.
Desk posture stiffens this region fast; brief daily work matters more than aggressive lumbar twisting.
Common questions
-
Can limited thoracic rotation cause lower back pain in golfers?
Often yes—the lumbar spine over-rotates when the upper back is stiff. Restore T-spine motion before adding aggressive swing speed work.
