Why condition Golfers’? Minimize
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.
