The 90/90/90 Oblique Stretch is one of our favorite exercises for improving rotational mobility in the thoracic spine, especially for golfers with fascial restrictions.
This is one of the hundreds of “at-home” exercise options that a TPI Certified professional can program through our app.
If lack of mobility is affecting your swing, lack of equipment or gym access shouldn’t be an excuse to improve.

Why we can’t “fix” swings in the gym.
Just because we address a physical limitation in the gym does not mean it will automatically show up in a golfer’s swing. We still need to help them learn a new motor program.
More range of motion, strength or motor control can make this easier, but golfers won’t learn a new swing pattern in the gym.
Golfers who early extend often have physical limitations which make it difficult to rotate their pelvis, preferring to thrust towards the target line instead.
Additionally, many of them are actually standing too far from the ball at address.
This makes it very challenging to correct early extension because they feel they have to shift forward to make center face contact.
By moving them fractionally closer to the ball at address, we can give them an additional incentive to clear their pelvis on the downswing.
