⛳ Your swing starts with the way you bend to the ball.

Working with Zach Johnson on a small setup detail with a big purpose: creating an internally rotated—or “IR”—pelvis shape while maintaining expansion through the rib cage.

The goal? Set up with pressure into the ground with and expanded pelvis and ribcage to have room to move. 🔄

Here’s what we’re working on:
▪️ Initiate the bend from the pelvis.
▪️ Let the knees soften naturally.
▪️ Maintain space through the back and front of the rib cage as you tip forward.

An expanded rib cage doesn’t mean squeezing your shoulder blades together or flaring your ribs. Think of keeping the sternum up and sitbones spread as you bend toward the ball.

It’s about the position—and how you get there.

Bend with intention. Create space. Find your turn. 🔥

📌 Save this for your next range session.

⛳ Want more rotation like Zach? Start with where you can EXPAND.

Here’s Zach Johnson working on posterior rib cage expansion—creating more room to move through the back of the thorax.

When you hold that area in compression, turning can become a search for motion somewhere else.

The goal: use the breath to access expansion, change the shape of the rib cage, and explore rotation from that new position.

🫁 Inhale. Let the back ribs expand.
🔄 Exhale. Carry that freedom into the turn.

We’re not chasing a bigger twist. We’re building more movement options.

Expand. Turn. Express it in the swing.

📌 Save this if your golf swing feels tight—and share it with the golfer who’s always trying to turn harder.

Is your lower back “holding back” your golf swing?

Sometimes, more effort isn’t the answer. Creating more expansion for freedom to move is.

Working with Zach Johnson, Dr. Brian Paxton explains how excessive tension and compression through the lower torso can limit rotation—and how changing the way you breathe may help.

Directing your breath toward the back of your rib cage encourages expansion, which may help reduce unnecessary muscle tension and create more freedom to turn.

Breathe better. Move better. Swing with more freedom.

📌 Save this for your next practice session and share it with a golfer who struggles with a tight lower back.

Where you feel pain isn’t always where the problem begins. 🧩

Christine Curley, former Georgetown University golfer and Palm Beach, Florida resident, came up for the day to see Dr. Brian Paxton. ⛳️

Your body is connected. How you move in one area can influence how you feel in another—and understanding those relationships can make all the difference.

Our goal is to put the pieces together: look beyond the painful spot, understand what’s contributing to your discomfort, and build a plan around you.

Move better. Feel better. Get back to doing what you love.

Power starts with position.

How the pelvis is positioned influences how the body manages pressure and transfers force through the legs.

Here, we use an SI belt to help guide the position of the upper pelvis. Then we move to the Keiser leg press to practice pushing through the feet while controlling that position under load.

We’re training more than leg strength—we’re teaching the body to organize itself to produce force.

Get the position right. Then build the power.

You can put a lot of force into the ground.

But where that force comes from matters.

If you’re constantly creating force with the wrong strategy, you may still produce power—but it’s less efficient and can eventually break your body down.

The goal is to create pressure through the pelvis and transfer that force through the hip, femur, tibia and ultimately the foot.

That’s where the details matter on equipment like the Keiser.

You can hop on and pound out reps. But if you’re compensating, tucking the pelvis or using a top-down strategy, you may just be reinforcing the same problem.

Don’t just produce more force. Produce force from the right places.

Do you struggle with early extension in your downswing?

One piece you may be missing is late external rotation (ER) of the trail leg.

Late ER occurs when the pelvis begins rotating toward the target while the trail femur stays “back” in relative ER a little longer. This creates femur-to-pelvis separation and helps keep the trail hip from moving prematurely toward the ball.
it’s part of the transition from loading to propulsion:

Compression → IR → Energy Storage → Expansion → Late ER → Energy Release

For the femur to rotate, it needs space from the pelvis.

Try this:

Place the foam roller high on the inside of the right thigh.
Roll toward the groin, stopping ~2 inches before the pelvis.
Let the pelvis sink toward the ground.
Gently rotate your belt line to the left.

Rotation isn’t just about strength. It’s about speed, timing, and how your body reacts.

Here we’re using the Keiser functional cable machine to work on impulse rotation. Because the Keiser uses air resistance, we can put the focus on velocity—not just moving more weight.

Then we add the Tidal Tank sphere. The shifting water challenges us to find our center and react to changing forces in real time.

The goal is to understand how those impulses affect the way the body moves through space—and how that translates to a faster, more athletic golf swing.

Train the impulse. Train the rotation.
