Tight back muscles are the leading cause of golf related back problems.  The twisting and turning action that is required to play golf takes its toll on the spine and back muscles. Injuries are far more likely when muscles are cold, so measures should be taken to warm the back up before, during and after golf.  Golfers should warm up slowly and stretch with caution.  It is also wise to try and walk as much of the golf course as possible rather than riding, to keep the body from cooling down between shots. 

A very enjoyable and effective method for warming up the back is to use massage chairs.  High end massage chairs offer quality massages for a fraction of the price of visiting a professional massage therapist.  Some models such as the Elite Massage Chairs Optima offer heat and vibration in addition to the standard massage functions.  Heat is an excellent way to loosen back muscles before and after golf.   

Another massage chair that provides a good measure of back pain relief is the Elite Health Products Elite-ZGi22.  This model offers a zero gravity reclining feature and an inversion therapy massage feature that offers relief for overused spines.  This Elite-ZGi22 has all of the traditional massage chair features, plus these additional reclining features for less than two thousand dollars.  You will be amazed at how loose your back feels after just fifteen minutes in a Hi Tech Massage Chair.
