Why Golfers Need Physiotherapy
Golf swings involve complex, coordinated movements that place stress on joints, muscles, and tendons—especially in the back, hips, shoulders, and wrists. Even small physical limitations can lead to compensations, affecting your swing mechanics, consistency, and increasing your risk of injury.
Common Issues Treated with Physiotherapy:
-
Lower back pain from repetitive rotation
-
Shoulder strain due to improper mechanics
-
Hip stiffness limiting swing power
-
Core instability reducing control and balance
What Is TPI Golf Analysis?
TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) Golf Analysis is a specialized physical screening tool used to evaluate how your body affects your golf swing. At Bodylab Recovery Science, Kristina Jerry uses this evidence-based approach to identify physical limitations, correct movement dysfunctions, and create customized treatment plans tailored for golf performance.
TPI Includes:
-
Mobility & stability assessments
-
Swing mechanics analysis
-
Functional movement screening
-
Customized corrective exercise programs
How Physiotherapy Improves Your Game
Working with a physiotherapist trained in golf performance can help in several key ways:
1. Improve Flexibility & Range of Motion
Tight hips or restricted thoracic mobility can throw off your backswing and downswing. Manual therapy and targeted mobility drills can restore your full range of motion.
2. Increase Strength & Stability
Physiotherapists can build your core, hip, and shoulder strength—key areas for a stable and powerful swing.
3. Enhance Balance & Control
Golf requires control in dynamic motion. Neuromuscular training helps improve balance and swing efficiency.
4. Prevent Injuries
By identifying movement faults and muscular imbalances, physiotherapy helps prevent overuse injuries common in amateur and recreational golfers.
5. Accelerate Recovery
Already injured? Rehab with an experienced physiotherapist like Kristina Jerry can speed up recovery and get you back on the course stronger than before.
