Pain-Free Golf

Published

Sep 19, 2008

Written by Dr. Christian Reichardt with John Klages, Pain-Free Golf is billed as “the golfer’s handbook with easy, proven techniques for playing the game pain-free”. Dr. Reichardt is a chiropractor by trade, a certified yoga instructor, and an advisor for Golf Fitness Magazine. In addition, he lectures for the PGA of America. He claims that “most golfers set up in an anatomically incorrect, biomechanically convoluted posture and then crank on the strength in order to try to overcome this issue. It only leads to injuries and pain!” In addition, one simple thing that nearly every golfer can do to improve their comfort is to “learn to set up in a neutral posture and swing through the ball. Stop trying to “hit” the ball!!” according to Reichardt.

The inroduction makes a few claims about the contents of the text:

1. This book will not teach you a new or better golf swing.

2. It will not interfere with your golf swing or your lessons; in fact, it will enhance what your pro has been trying to teach you and it will help you play better, consistently.

3. If you follow the evaluation and instructions in this book, you will play better golf.

The book is presented in an elementary, easy to read style with clear diagrams. The first 38 pages discusses the dynamics of pain, muscles, and movements with some discussion of equipment and swing mechanics. Next, a self-test to assess your "golf fitness" is included. Complete instructions for taking the test and how to score are clearly spelled out. Readers find their score and then their pain areas and are directed to associated chapters to find stretches and movements to work on their unique needs.

Dr. Reichardt also gives golf lessons in the Los Angeles area that focus on proper stance and form to avoid pain. His goal is to help the golfer play with more comfort and less injury. The message – have fun, "play golf; don’t work golf". Dr. Reichardt’s bio can be found here and he can be contacted here.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Buy here.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.

From the listing:
