How to Improve Your Golf Game Without Pain

In this Tea with Dr. D episode, I break down the most common issues golfers face, and how to fix them. From low back and shoulder pain to poor hip rotation and tight rib cages, I explain why these problems show up and what you can do to move and play better.

This episode isn’t just about golf. It’s about how proper movement, mobility, and consistent daily habits can protect your body, improve your swing, and keep you doing what you love, without pain.

Here’s what we cover:
✅ Why hip mobility matters more than you think for a smooth, powerful swing
✅ How poor rotation shows up as pain in your back, shoulders, or elbows
✅ The role of core stability in preventing back pain
✅ How to get more distance with better rib cage movement
✅ The supplement that’s showing promise for anti-aging and energy
✅ Why consistency always beats intensity
✅ How to support your game with healthy habits off the course
✅ What young and female golfers need to stay injury-free and strong

One-liners from the episode:
🗣️ “Hip mobility is such an important thing.”
🗣️ “You should be doing those three every day.”
🗣️ “Consistency over intensity.”
🗣️ “Why does my golf swing cause hip pain?”
