Rehabilitation and Recovery
When injuries occur, proper rehabilitation and recovery are essential to ensure a safe return to the sport.
-
Physical Therapy: A physical therapist can design a personalized rehabilitation program to address specific injuries and promote healing.
-
Rest and Recovery: Allowing adequate time for rest and recovery is crucial for preventing further injury. Golfers should listen to their bodies and avoid pushing through pain.
-
Gradual Return: Returning to golf should be gradual, with a focus on rebuilding strength, flexibility, and endurance. Golfers should start with light practice and gradually increase intensity.
Proper Physical Screening
Our TPI Certified sports therapists will perform baseline or advanced TPI Performance Screenings to measure and analyze current progress and target specific areas of improvement to focus on during your training.
Strength and Conditioning Training
Physical conditioning is fundamental to improving a golfer's performance. A well-rounded fitness program for golfers includes cardiovascular exercises, strength training, flexibility exercises, and balance training.

Cardiovascular Exercises: Activities such as running, cycling, and swimming help improve stamina and endurance on the golf course.

Strength Training: Focusing on core muscles, as well as upper and lower body strength, enhances swing power and stability. Exercises like squats, lunges, and dumbbell presses are beneficial.

Balance Training: Balance exercises, including single-leg stands and stability ball workouts, help maintain control during the swing and perform under pressure.
Injury Prevention
Preventing injuries is crucial for golfers of all levels. Understanding common golf injuries and implementing preventive measures can keep golfers healthy and on the course.

Warm-Up: A proper warm-up routine, including dynamic stretches and light cardio, prepares the body for physical activity and reduces the risk of injury.
