What is the Physiotherapy Process?

The first step of the process to link the Instruction Department with the Physiotherapy Department is for the player to have a Muscle Balance Assessment.

Golf Muscle Balance Assessment (MBA)

A safe, efficient, powerful and repeatable golf swing is the combination of good technique, bio mechanics, sequencing, timing and physical ability.  Without adequate muscle flexibility, joint range of motion, stability and strength, it is virtually impossible to create a full, safe, consistent and dependable golf swing.

Therefore as a golfer it is essential for you to identify and understand your body’s physical limitations and weaknesses, and then be able to work specifically on those limitations and weaknesses to help improve your golf swing.

A Golf MBA is a short hour long testing procedure where we test, assess and analyse the following:

• Posture
• Spinal movement
• Muscle flexibility
• Joint testing
• Range of motion
• Muscle stability & strength
• Golf bio mechanics
• Functional movement patterns specific to golf

This process allows us to identify dysfunctions that could be limiting a players swing and the ability to improve, or could potentially lead to injuries in the future.

This information is then used to design a completely personalised exercise programme that will not only help improve your body and your golf, but reduce the likelihood of developing injuries that may impact your continued enjoyment of the game, as well as improving your overall lifestyle health and wellbeing.
