Wrist, Forearm, and Hand Strengthening
By ALAN R. KLEIN
Physical Therapist

As a licensed Physical Therapist and Specialist in Golf Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation and Conditioning, I have put together an extensive program that can be easily modified to a golfer's life style.

The program is designed to fit an individual. A golfer can exercise throughout the day rather than having to adhere to a specific time, like working out in the morning or after work. Exercising throughout the day eliminates stress of not always following the scheduled plan and becomes more of the golfer's daily lifestyle.

There is an extremely high success rate with the exercise program and golfers have reported a positive response in relation to improved flexibility and golf specific conditioning. If you have any further questions in regards to these exercises and the program, you may email me directly at Ptgolfer@aol.com

For any type of strengthening it is important to use correct posture and mechanics. For this exercise our aspiring golfer is utilizing a hammer for resistance. By holding the hammer farther away from the head of the hammer, you will increase the amount of resistance that you will feel.

In starting your exercise program you can move your hand closer to the hammerhead and thereby decrease the amount of weight that you will be lifting. Making sure to have good posture, you can do this exercise either standing or sitting.

Have your forearm bent at the elbow at 90° and make sure to keep your elbow at your side. With the hammer straight up, towards the ceiling, slowly rotate your palm down keeping your forearm at your side and the right angle at your elbow. Rotate your palm and forearm until the hammer become horizontal. You can hold for a few seconds and then rotate back up until the hammer is straight.
