What is the most significant joint restriction associated with C-Posture?

The most significant joint restriction associated with C-Posture is limited thoracic spine extension. C-Posture refers to a rounded or hunched position of the upper back and shoulders, which often results from poor posture habits and can lead to diminished mobility of the thoracic spine. When the thoracic spine is restricted in its ability to extend, it affects the overall mechanics of the body during activities, including the golf swing.

This lack of thoracic extension can cause compensatory movements in other areas of the body, such as the shoulders and the lumbar spine, leading to inefficiencies and potential injuries. Improving thoracic spine extension can enhance posture and overall swing mechanics, allowing for a more effective body-swing connection.

In contrast, while shoulder mobility, hip flexor flexibility, and core strength are important components of overall fitness and swing performance, they are not as directly impacted by C-Posture as thoracic spine extension is. The significant restriction in this context highlights the need for targeted interventions to restore proper posture and function.
