How we assess golfers

We assess the area that hurts, then look at the mobility, strength and control your swing relies on: upper back rotation, hip rotation, trunk control and shoulder function. We'll also ask about practice volume, equipment and recent changes.

How we treat golf injuries

Manual therapy is used to reduce pain and improve restricted rotation and range of motion. Physical therapy builds the strength and stability to support your swing and help reduce the chance of the injury coming back.

Soft tissue therapy, joint articulation and muscle energy technique
Mobility work for upper back and hip rotation
Golf-specific strength and conditioning
Advice on practice volume and warm-ups
