Our golf performance enhancement programs offer two levels of evaluation.
Our Golf Fitness screen is completed by a trained practitioner to identify strength and flexibility imbalances throughout your body and provide you with a customized exercise program that will identify how changing your body's ability will improve your golf swing and minimize injury.
Our Golf Performance evaluation is a comprehensive, sixty minute physical evaluation. The evaluation is performed by a licensed professional physical therapist whose training is a synthesis of information gathered from seminars including Kinetic Golf©, Body Balance for Performance© and Back to Golf©. Our therapists are experienced in functional stabilization, conditioning, sports-specific training programs and kinesiology. Our therapists also have experience in rehabilitating athletes and sports-related injuries. Tests performed during the evaluation include measurements of:
- Posture
- Balance
- Flexibility
- Strength
- Trunk, pelvis, shoulder stability
- Conditioning level
The program will maximize the benefit of lessons as you are working with your golf professional. Individual performance data is recorded to identify your current skill level and to enable the professional instructor to help each golfer set realistic physical and performance goals within the program design.
We use all the information gathered to design a customized, golf-specific physical training program that will optimally strengthen and improve the physical characteristics necessary to swing a golf club properly. This program assists the process of achieving maximum distance, accuracy, control, and scoring potential and promotes injury prevention.
Treatment is based on the findings of the performance evaluation and the golfer's goals, and includes a golf-specific home exercise program. Other treatments may include myofascial release, joint mobilization, functional stabilization, strengthening, stretching or cardiovascular conditioning.
The Golf Performance program will enable you to improve your golf game and enhance your ability to physically perform the specific elements of the golf swing.
