Golf Biomechanic

Amateur golfers achieve approximately 90% of their peak muscle activity when driving a golf ball. This is the same lifting intensity as picking up a weight that can only be lifted four times before total fatigue. Yet golfers fail to consider that they strike the ball an average of 30 to 40 times a game with comparable intensity. This level of exertion and muscle activation equates golf with such sports as football, hockey and martial arts. The difference is that other athletes outside of golf include conditioning as an integral part of their preparation for such physical demands. 

​Technology has greatly added to our game. But distance with faulty mechanics, due to dynamic postural dysfunction within the body leads to the inability to keep the ball on the fairway. 

What truly counts, above all else, is the golfer. 

Simply put, golf biomechanics is based upon the principles of functional exercises that are designed to restore balance, length, strength and coordination of sport specific movement patterns of golf. 

​

When you combine this, with a highly skilled golf professional to coach you, your handicap can't fail to improve. You can have the body and skill to make the difference.

​

A question to consider for older golfers. What do you think begins to cause a deterioration in your game first? Your skill level, or your bodies ability to complete the movement requirement of the golf swing?! 

To put this in perspective, consider that the head a golf club can travel over 100 miles per hour, an effort comparable to pitching a baseball.

​

Conditioning the body with a Golf Biomechanic when these demands are placed on the body starts to become an obvious requirement.

If the root cause of injuries is not addressed then temporary fixes are the usual result. Injuries recur and many athletic careers end after what should have only been a temporary setback. Recurring pain in the back, shoulder, knee, wrist or elbow are too common among golfers. 

​

- At any given time, as many as 30% of professional golfers are playing injured.

​

- 53% of male and 45% of female golfers suffer from back pain.

​

-Those who play golf and participate in another sport are 40% more likely to develop back pain than those who just play golf
