Impairments with the Junior Golfer

Question

Are there typical impairments that you see with the junior golfer?

Answer

For the adolescent golfer, core strength and stability has not caught up with their growth and level of desired activity/skill.  The S posture is common as they do not have the strength and stability to maintain the neutral spine.  I also find that there is commonly hip stiffness in the juniors especially with the young male population.
