Golf is a low-impact sport and is considered fairly safe, but this doesn’t equate to being injury-proof. Sports injury research and statistics reveal that golf has a higher injury rate than team sports like rugby and hockey, which are generally considered high-risk sports. According to estimates, as many as 40% of amateur and 60% of professional golfers sustain injuries each season. The type of injuries most common among golfers include back injuries, rotator cuff injuries, sprains, inflammation, foot and ankle injuries, wrist tendinitis, elbow tendonitis, knee pain, and neck and shoulder injuries.
While repeated motions and movements are commonly cited as the primary reason for this high rate of injury in golf, health experts believe that the lack of off-course training and proper warm-up also have a major role to play. Most golfers do not warm up properly, and many do not do it at all, which puts them at a higher risk of injury than those who do.
Regardless of what caused them, injuries can be tough on golfers, interfere with their game, and negatively affect their performance. Far-Infrared Therapy offers a viable solution to this.
Prevent and Treat Golf Injuries with Far-Infrared Therapy
It’s common knowledge that recovery is as important (if not more) for athletes as training or the game itself. Traditionally, athletes used warm baths, saunas, and ice to soothe their sore muscles and relax their stressed, stiffened bodies. But these old-school methods have now been replaced by advanced recovery techniques like far-infrared therapy.
While several advanced techniques are available today, far-infrared therapy is different from others because it doesn’t just improve the recovery process but can also help prevent injuries in the first place.
What are the Benefits of Far-Infrared Therapy for Golfers?
Far-Infrared or FIR therapy promises to offer a myriad of benefits. Here are some that are most related to golfers:
- Improved blood flow
- Pain relief
- Muscle relaxation
- Muscle recovery
- Better sleep
- Improved range of motions
A far-infrared therapy session before and after a workout session or golf game can help loosen up stiff muscles and improve blood flow that, which boosts warm-up and recovery, improve performance and give players a competitive edge over others. A post-game therapy session also provides immediate relief from tissue inflammation, pain, and overall fatigue, along with helping to remove metabolic waste from the body.
