Even with today’s
technological advances, it is still the player who has to stabilize, rotates
the spine efficiently and uses 90% of peak muscle activity when driving a golf
ball.
Repetitive overuse
syndromes, muscle compensations due to postural imbalances, poor fitness
levels, the aging process, sprains and strains often haunt the golfing
population.
Back pain injury (53%
male / 45% female), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) and tendonitis of the
wrist are not uncommon ailments.
Golf is an athletic
event and conditioning the body for such a high force complex movement only
makes sense.
A Certified Golf
Biomechanic analyzes how the body functions dynamically during the complex
swing at quarter, half and full swings.
Address and putting posture, alignment, flexibility and length tension
relationships are assessed. Individual
programs are based on these findings.
Flexibility issues are
an ongoing process, as many golfers do not naturally possess the level of
flexibility required for optimal swing function. That is where corrective stretching, pre and
post event stretches, proper warm-up techniques and energy mobilization
exercises come in to optimized flexibility for golf.
Inadequate postural
alignment, muscle imbalance and joint range of motion restrictions will have a
negative effect on rotational abilities.
Golf is a rotational sport, and you must be able to rotate repeatedly
with explosive speed.
Dynamic stabilization
is the ability to stabilize oneself on instantaneous axis of rotation during
the golf swing and maintenance of one’s centre of gravity during movement. Neuromuscular isolation exercises and then
integration exercises precede stabilization training to develop strong
stabilizers of the thoraco-lumbar-pelvic region.
Final conditioning
stages are strength-training exercises specific to muscle movement patterns for
golf followed by a power phase for increase club head speed and distance.
