Golf Injuries

The golfing population in the United States alone has significantly grown to a number of over 26 million individuals. Even though golf is considered a low intensity activity, it is not an injury free activity. It’s estimated that approximately 62% of golfers, whether amateur or professional, will endure some kind of injury related to the game. The most common injuries are acute or chronic back and shoulder injuries. They can be associated with repetitive micro-trauma, repetitive untreated sprains/strains, or from poor swing mechanics. Back and shoulder injuries are also the most preventable, if given a well rounded cardiovascular, flexibility and strengthening program.

How We Can Help

Regardless of the technology used for the clubs, you as the golfer must be able to maintain alignment while utilizing trunk, shoulder, hip, and ankle flexibility during the dynamic aspect of the swing. The more sound your body conditioning is, the more enhanced your backswing, weight shift, and follow through will be. The Golf Conditioning Program offers a golf-specific exercise regime for golfers of any level. The Program systematically addresses your flexibility, strength, and balance deficits that may hinder your game on the course.

Program Specifics

• The Program consists of a progressive exercise program tailored to your specific deficits and swing mechanics.
• The first session includes a quick screening process by a physical therapy staff member that will identify your starting strength, flexibility, and swing mechanic deficits.
• Subsequent weekly exercise classes will consist of four stations (core, balance, flexibility, and swing analysis) that will progressively work on enhancing your golf game.

Cost: $18 per class with a six person maximum.
You can begin the program any time and continue on as your schedule allows.
