Fit for Golf Program

The Fit for Golf Program created for you by your physical therapist is customized to your specific needs. It will help to strengthen and stretch the key muscles necessary for a proper golf swing. Once your specific program is decided upon it will follow a process known as release, reeducate and rebuild.
If pain or dysfunction is present appropriate physical therapy will be provided including "HANDS ON SKILLS" and modalities as indicated.
A customized stretching exercise program will enhance your flexibility, posture and ultimately your golf swing. This is known as the RELEASE phase of your program. The goal here is to release the soft tissue tightness that is restricting your posture and flexibility. As your pain and flexibility improves you will be given exercises to teach your body proper golf swing posture and balance. This is known as the reeducating phase. This phase will include instruction on how to assume better posture during your golf swing and how to replace poor swing habits with ones that will help prevent injury. Finally you will be shown exercises to strengthen or rebuild the muscles specific to a golf swing. These golf specific exercises will help to enhance all aspects of your golf game and your overall health.
Improved flexibility, posture, and increased strength (combined) will ultimately enhance your golf performance and prevent injury.
You can buy all the latest equipment. You can read all the books and watch all the videos. However, you will not be the best possible golfer you can be if your body, your most important piece of equipment, is in pain or not "FIT".
