First Lumbar Extension Test

The golf programme at Kieser Training includes the use of a Lumbar Extension machine under supervision of one of the physios.

It looks a bit daunting at first but after being strapped in so that your pelvis cannot move a series of tests are performed to measure the back strength at various points as you bend forward and back.
Beginning compared to average

My results showed average results when bent over but as I straightened up the results were below average indicating a weakness at this level.  I'm hoping that after the golf programme finishes we will see at the final test an improvement here.
