One of the biggest lessons from Tiger Woods’ long history of injuries is that swinging through pain eventually catches up with you . When the body can’t move the way the golf swing demands, something else has to compensate, usually the lower back, hips, or shoulders. Over time, that leads to inflammation, chronic pain, and in many cases, reliance on medications just to get through the day.
