Carl Reader on Trail Side Posture Bias and How it Could be Affecting your Swing

Carl Reader has a BSc (Med)(Hon) Biokinetics (Exercise Therapy) Degree from the Sports Science Institute of South Africa.  Based in Cape Town, South Africa he has over 20 years of experience and expertise in helping golfers of all levels optimize their functional movement patterns to move and play better.

Carl makes a second appearance on our podcast to discuss his theory on "Right Side Posture Bias" and how that can adversely affect a golf-swing.

As he elaborates on the concept he illustrates the issues it creates:

• Improper posture, aim and alignment
• An inability to get to the lead or front side in the down-and-through swing, and
• An inability to properly and powerfully clear the hips through impact

As he addresses those maladies he talks about the mindset of golfers who suffer from Right Side Posture biases.  He also illustrates how this syndrome is oftentimes the cause of lower back pain.

He also shares moves, drills and remedies for this posture bias:

• Techniques for muscle release and stretches to alleviate tightness and pain, and
• Releasing muscles by way of strength training as opposed to stretching, and
• Overall body awareness
