Fellow Golfers... Hello and Welcome!
Some of the more common goals in the game of golf are improved
consistency, scoring and increased distance. One sure way to improve
these is to develop a reliable, repeatable swing. Lessons from your golf
pro, practice and more lessons are priceless and players of all levels must
possess and continually practice the fundamentals. A basic understanding
of technique and swing mechanics is also invaluable. Proper weight shift,
timing and sequencing (among others) are qualities better players share and
essential to consistent ball striking as well as distance, no matter individual
style or the swing type.
Another quality that better player’s share is efficiency. An efficient golf
swing is virtually free of compensations or wasted movement and produces
greater club head speed with less effort; less effort is less stressful on the
body and reduces the risk of injury. Practice and knowledge is one thing
but the ability to physically execute and execute consistently is another. The
golf swing is an athletic movement that requires flexibility, strength,
balance, and coordination.

We Keep You Moving
Adequate flexibility and strength allows the energy generated through the legs, hips, trunk, back, shoulders, and arms to be
efficiently transferred and sequenced into club head. If you body is physically unable to perform the required movement
pattern consistently then your ball striking will be inconsistent.
A common denominator to a consistent, repeatable and efficient swing is conditioning. Whether you are a recreational player
or professional, a junior, senior, man or woman, you have unique strengths and weaknesses. Of the hundreds of training
devices on the market today, not one is more effective at improving your overall ability to play the game of golf better than
your own body. Golfers are athletes and should be treated as such. Flexibility and strength are two variables of the
conditioning equation that provide and contribute to the mobility, stability, posture, balance, power, endurance and ultimately,
the coordination needed for an efficient golf swing. Proper conditioning maximizes your ability to play the game.
As a golfer and Physical Therapist specializing in Golf Conditioning, Injury Prevention and Orthopedic Rehabilitation I
understand the game and the biomechanics involved. All exercises I teach are biomechanically sound and safe, meaning they
are effective in accomplishing their intended goal while NOT placing undue stress in other areas, such as the vulnerable back,
neck or shoulders. I utilize a scientific and practical approach in my golf conditioning programs and do not claim to reveal
any ‘secrets’ or promise Tigeresque drives. What I will do is:
1. Discuss your experience, goals and any relevant medical history
2. Evaluate your golf swing and identify your strengths and weaknesses as they relate to your body throughout the swing
3. Perform a comprehensive flexibility, strength, posture and movement evaluation
4. Develop an individualized golf specific conditioning program to overcome your weaknesses and improve your strengths
Anybody can benefit from a golf specific conditioning program but everybody is different. Combined with lessons and
practice, improved flexibility, strength, balance and coordination will provide a more consistent, repeatable and efficient swing
while reducing your risk of injury. Better scores will follow. You will also be more confident over the ball and come away
with a greater understanding and appreciation of the mechanics involved in the golf swing.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to throw me an e-mail.
