Golf Fitness & Rehabilitation

Golf Injuries 
   Every year at least 50% of all golfers will suffer from debilitating injuries related to playing golf.  The most common areas that are injured while playing golf are the low back, shoulder, and wrist.  What makes the golf swing so hard on the back? The golf swing requires that the golfer have the flexibility, posture, and balance to contort to extremes of rotation and compression.   
    Most golfers experience one or more symptoms, such as low back pain, shoulder, or wrist pain, and continue to play until they are injured.  If a golfer is experiencing such pain, there is an underlying cause that must be determined, or the symptoms will continue to get worse.  Our Golf Injury and Rehabilitation Program will help you get to the root of your problem, and help to determine the underlying cause of your pain.  

Golf Fitness    
    Today more than ever, major tour players are embracing golf fitness as a way to improve their golf performance.  Golf is a sport that requires the player to have flexibility, strength, balance, co-ordination, muscular endurance, and aerobic endurance.  Golfers who do not have these requirements will be restricted in their golf swing, which will not only limit their ability to score, but will put them at risk for injuries.  
     Golf is unlike many other sports, because playing golf by itself will not increase your golf-specific fitness.  The golf swing only lasts for a brief second.  Off the course, a golfer needs to able to perform exercises that will help to stretch and strengthen the muscles involved in the golf swing.  In order to improve golf performance, there are specific exercises and stretches that you can do to improve your golf fitness. Performing golf specific exercises off the course will enhance your golf performance while on the course.
