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\u2019s 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\">\u2013 Loss of posture<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2013 Counter-angled column<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2013 Height of arms limited<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2013 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?
