How to stay Injury Free playing Golf

I'd like to recommend a back and musculoskeletal physiotherapist who, although practices in southern England, offers very good online consultations.  I have used him (in person) many times, and Jonathan was always very helpful and knowledgeable.  He has sent me some very useful information on specific treatments for golf injuries, and their prevention.  Here is the message he has sent about it:

Over the last couple of years I have developed an interest in the Biomechanics of Golf and why certain injuries occur.  I have given several talks at golf clubs and treated many golfers for their various ailments, getting them back on the golf course!

Golfers were forced to have a few months off due to lockdown and since returning a few too many of them have picked up niggly injuries (the body doesn't like change!). 

I would like to share with you some very useful resources to ensure you stay injury free on the golf course. If you aren't a golfer yourself please feel free to share this information with someone you may know who is!
