Hey Andrew,

Here's a link to some mobility exercises you can add to your routine. I wrote these for MyGolfSpy. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Best thing I did for my lower back pains after my current neurosurgeon told me at my age, 78, that surgery was not an option to correct, due to me having scoliosis. Physical Therapy has helped me tolerate it more thru a plan designed around my golf game. I spent the last two years working on my core development. The PT did give me some core exercises to warm up on days when I play. My surgeon said my best results would come from pain management and exercising. It has provided some relief along with an occasional epidural. Have you seen a doctor regarding the lower pain? You want to ensure you do not alienate the lower pain more thru methods that are not medically approved. I did evasive surgery on L5 for spurs prior to COVID with minimal results. My current medical team found that I have them again last year. The surgeon that did the in/out procedure either did not do it correctly or they came back. Things I cannot do due to the lower back pain; lift over 40lbs, play golf on consecutive days, kills me to play on cold windy days, walk and play golf. I do my exercises on days I play and know my limitations and my teaching pro still works with me on my fast swing.

Check out some exercises on the MyTPI website as a starting point. Once you've got the basics mastered, give Mike Carroll's Fit For Golf app a look. Membership required but there will be more focus on adding strength instead of just stretching.

Enjoy the journey!

I would search this on Youtube.com lots of great info there!

I started using the golfforever system a few months ago and has help me out a lot with flexibility. I to worry about back issues playing golf is why i started it.
Its not free but you can find a few videos on youtube.

Go to My TPI and…
Find a TPI certified golf or fitness expert in your area. They can do an evaluation and guide you to a series of exercises specifically for you.

There are other factors that can impact the lower back. Shoulder and hip rotation limitations can impact lower back, as well as a weak core. What applies to me likely will not apply to you.

I have a lot of experience with back issues. Crushed 2 disks in my lower back when I was 45 and hung up golf for 2 years. Best advice is get a professional to help you achieve what you're looking for. If you go it on your own there are plenty of books or online programs available. Be patient though. It takes a bit of time to strengthen the muscles around your back, and you don't want to focus only on golf related moves. I can tell you that stretching and building up your core will improve your overall game but it's a lifetime commitment. And don't neglect the diet. Food is fuel, and you want the best fuel for your engine to run at peak performance.
