Like every bodily system, muscles and muscle groups depend on each other. Each muscle and muscle group has a length-tension relationship that must remain in balance for optimal performance. During a repetitive motion, particularly one as demanding as a golf swing , this balance can become compromised. At which point injury is inevitable unless addressed and corrected.
