Tightness in this muscle can cause a loss of posture in the spine every time the arms are raised, as can occur in the backswing. In addition, the latissimus dorsi muscle can limit the player&#8217;s ability to rotate the shoulders in the backswing or follow through.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The most common swing errors caused by lack of dorsal mobility are:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8211; Loss of posture<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8211; Counter-angled column<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8211; Height of arms limited<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8211; Loss of angles<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On the other hand, the latissimus dorsi muscle is a powerful internal rotator and abductor of the humerus (arm); therefore, it contributes to the power of the swing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Here you have more than one reason not to neglect this muscle, the largest, widest and strongest of our torso. Hence the importance of getting in the hands of a professional to assess its functionality and, if necessary, prescribe exercises in a specific and personalized way. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Here are some exercises that can help us to improve the mobility and flexibility of these muscles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/images\/258N\/Je%CC%81sica%2001.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/images\/258N\/Je%CC%81sica%2002.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/images\/258N\/Je%CC%81sica%2003.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is it important that the latissimus dorsi muscle is not tight or hypertonic?
