Chronic lead hip pain and low back pain on the same side can be a sign that your golf swing is drifting instead of rotating efficiently.
Mike Hoffman, TPI golf instructor at Function Thru Fitness in Green Bay, often sees this pattern when a golfer lacks hip internal rotation and the strength to control side-to-side motion.
In an efficient swing, the lead hip drives back and creates space for the pelvis to turn through. When that motion is limited, the golfer may drift forward first and rotate late—placing more stress on the lead hip and low back.
The plan is to restore mobility, build glute and outer-hip strength, and then retrain the actual swing movement.
