Mobility and recovery app Pliability has launched its first sport-specific tailored mobility path for golf. Using corrective, passive, preventative and protective exercises, pliability’s golf routines are designed to improve longevity in the game, while focusing on one of the most overlooked aspects of golf: mobility. Perform the following four movements before you tee off, or as standalone stretches on your recovery days.

1. SUPPORTED LEG SWINGS WITH GOLF CLUB

REPS: 5-7 each side

WHY: “This movement is one of my favourites,” says Wheeler. “Utilising a driver or a long iron for support activates and warms up your legs, hips and glutes.”

• Start with your golf club in your left hand, and swing your left leg forward and back, trying to keep the leg as straight as possible.

• Do this for 5-7 reps, then switch sides and repeat with your right.

2. JEFFERSON CURL WITH GOLF CLUB

REPS: 10-15 each side

WHY: “The most common problem area we see in golfers is the lower back. The Jefferson Curl with a golf club is a fantastic movement that targets this area.”

• Bring your feet to hip-width position, holding your club with your hands shoulder-width apart.
