Golf Assessments

Why a Golf Physiotherapy Screening?

A Physiotherapy golf assessment can assist you in improving your game through the evaluation of your joints, muscles as well as your swing mechanics. A biomechanical analysis of your swing mechanics as it relates to “YOUR” particular joint range-of-motion and muscle strength will be reviewed. A combined approach can be initiated in co-operation with your golf coach.

As well as improving your game, more importantly a Physiotherapy assessment will provide you with key areas you can improve the bodies flexibility and strength, and balance. Ultimately, we are looking to improve your fitness through strength and flexibility.  The Golf Screening will assist in:

1. Improving your game
2. Reduce the incidence of injury, and
3. If you become injured (let’s hope not!) give you some of the tools necessary for a quicker recovery

With the Golf Physiotherapy Screening an analysis will include:

1. Key joints range of motion for the golf swing will be analyzed and discussed.
2. A RTUS for core stability muscle activation and strengthening is key to balance and posture for a good golf swing.
3. A detailed exercise program for joint flexibility, muscle strength and balance will be provided at the end of the assessment.
4. A general warm-up exercise program before you hit the golf course will be provided.
5. In co-operation with your coach an analysis of your golf swing can be organized.

Following the assessment it is advisable to include one follow-up visit for review of exercises and adjustments necessary for each individual. Not all golfers are the same and each of us have different strengthens, weaknesses, as well as flexible and inflexible muscles and joints. A specific golf gym exercise program can also be provided with individuals that can run for 3-6 weeks and prepare you for the golf season. The aim is to improve your flexibility, strength, and balance in order for you to have more fun through improving your game through improved fitness.
