Golf Assessment

Executing a golf swing is an amazing act of skill. It requires a fine
balance between power and precision. When things go wrong you
head to the range and hit balls hoping to find the magic trick to
right that wayward ball. When that doesn't work, you book a lesson
and get the pro to eliminate your bad habits. Yet somehow these
habits keep creeping back. Why?

Is your body capable of performing a perfect golf swing?
Major issues that limit golf performance can be:

  • Back pain
  • Poor posture
  • Spinal stiffness
  • Tight hamstrings
  • Poor core strength
  • Knee and hip injuries

 

At Physiosports we offer a comprehensive screening program to determine the underlying physical issues that prevent you from performing at your optimum. Utilising digital swing analysis, Real Time Ultrasound assessment and a golf-specific musculo-skeletal screening protocol we implement a program to rectify your specific physical limitations. The answer is simple: better body, better game!

 

FAQ's:

1. Does this mean that I can stop having golf lessons?

No. The aim of a golf assessment is to ensure you have the flexibility and strength required for golf, it is still up to your pro to improve your swing. We work closely with golf pros to maximise the results of your physiotherapy sessions and golf lessons.

 

2. If I don't feel stiff should I still have an assessment?
Yes. The musculo-skeletal screening in your assessment will highlight any muscles or joints that need to be addressed. Remember that the golf swing requires movements through multiple joints. A small amount of tightness in even two joints can compound to a huge change in a golf swing.

 

3. Is this covered by my private health fund extras?
Yes. All our sessions are run by physiotherapists and are covered for your standard physiotherapy rebate by your health fund.

 

4. How do I make an appointment?
