In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad Podcast, Chris dives into a listener question from one of P4S’ diamond members about nagging pain in the front and side of the hip—especially during squats. He breaks down the common culprits behind this discomfort, like declining rotational mobility as we age (a key factor since squats demand internal hip rotation), and explores whether it’s a soft tissue problem, a joint issue, or even a movement pattern glitch like anterior tilt. Chris shares practical solutions, from soft tissue work to heavy band techniques and joint-focused fixes, offering golfers actionable steps to squat pain-free and boost performance. Whether you’re battling hip stiffness or just want to move better, this episode is packed with expert insights to keep you swinging strong! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
