Golf Screenings at Physio4life

Golf Screening is now used by many golfers around the world.

How does it work?

Golf Screening detects physical and postural limitations of the golfer, muscle imbalance and therefore prevents injury and helps to achieve peak performance.

Does it apply to all golfers?

Golf Screening is not just for top golfers. It can be applied to all levels from the amateur to professionals.

Every golfer’s motivation is to reduce his or her handicap. So
what are the benefits of a Heath and Fitness programme combined with Golf Screening?

• Your body will be more prepared for Golf performance and therefore you will enhance your game with longer drives, improved accuracy, along with the ultimate goal of helping you to lower your handicap.
• The Programmes will promote injury prevention. Common golfing injuries include golfer’s elbow, shoulder and back pain, along with ankle, knee, foot and sciatica pain.

 

The ranges of services that Physio4life can offer to all golfers are as follows

1. Physiotherapy

To perform optimally, a golfer must possess a good range of rotation whilst being able to maintain posture, balance and stability round many key joints.

2. Biomechanical Assessments/Screening/Orthotics

Golfers have to be aware of the risks to their body. Video analysis can help correct posture to enhance the golf swing. Customised golf shoe orthotics are also available for those golfers with biomechanical issues.

3. Nutrition

More often than not golfers do not make the direct link between a healthy diet and their performance on the golf course. Good nutrition is as important and good technical ability in determining overall performance.

4. Personal Training & Fitness Assessments

A full range of training services are available to the golfer, including a specific programme to improve fitness and attitude. Before any game of golf, ensure that you have at least a 10 minute warm up and equally as important, a cool down after the 18th green.

5. Golf and Therapeutic Massages

A full range of Massages are available to help improve the flexibility of the body to help improve the golfer’s performance on the course.

6. Pilates and Core Stability

To maintain the body’s flexibility, many golfers regularly attend Pilate’s classes.

7. Ergonomics and Posture whilst at work

Off the golf course it is equally important to have the correct posture whilst at home and at work. A damaged or aching back is not the way to walk up to the first tee. A full range of ergonomic assessments is available to the golfer.
