Magnetic bracelets for golfers

After long periods of time putting, stroking and diving, it is hardly surprising that both golf professionals and enthusiasts can suffer recurring problems with the wrist, elbow and carpal.

In applying a magnetic force close to the affected area, the energies assimilated from the magnetic fields can provide relief to the pain and discomfort caused by playing frequent rounds of golf.

Although the popularity of magnetic bracelets for golfers extends beyond this type of jewellery’s unique healing powers, as in creating an ionic force, it is widely believed that magnetic bracelets can help improve the performance of golfers.

The magnetic or ionic force that the magnets in the bracelets creates, significantly enhances the ferrous haemoglobin, or iron function, in the red blood cells, which causes a greater supply of oxygen to be distributed to the tissues, joints and muscles.

Magnetic bracelets for golfers offer a greater flow of oxygen reaching these areas of the body, a greater ionic balance in created, particularly in the forearm and wrist tissue and muscles, which can therefore help improve a golfer’s swing and overall form and condition.

Golf injury and golf accident prevention tips

Many people believe that as golf is a relatively low-level physical activity where there is little risk of injury or accident.

This could not be further from the truth, as golf, is fairly demanding on the ankles, elbows, spine, knees, hips and wrists, which, without practicing necessary precautions, can result in an injury occurring in one, or even several of these areas. We concentrate on Golf injury and golf prevention tips below.

In fact, so common are golf-related injuries, that in 2009, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reported that there were more than 55,000 visits to hospital emergency rooms due to golf injuries.

The most common types of golf injuries are golfer’s elbow and lower back pain. Golfer’s elbow is the leading injury golfers sustain and is essentially an inflammation of the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the elbow bone. Lower back pain is the second most common complaint amongst golfers and is usually caused by an inadequate swing, which places a significant amount of pressure on the spine to cause a problem.

There are several preventative measures that golfers can take to help decrease the chances of picking up an injury or be involved in an accident on the golf course.

Golf injury and golf prevention tips.

Stretching exercises

Before a round of golf always do some simple stretching exercises to prepare the muscles for the game. Focus on stretching your back, shoulders and legs and then take some practice shots on the driving range to stretch those muscles.

Drink plenty of water

Do not let yourself become dehydrated whilst playing golf, so always take a bottle of water with you on replace the lost fluids.

Sunscreen

It can get pretty hot on a golf course and even if you don’t think it is that sunny you can get burnt. Always wear plenty of high-protection sunscreen when playing golf in the summer months to protect your skin.

Whilst warming up the muscles by gently jogging and stretching should be a vital part of your routine prior to playing a sport, to help prevent golfers elbow specifically, there are several specific exercises that you can do to help strengthen and condition the muscles in the forearm and wrist.
