How Can Intrinsic Biomechanics Help My Golf?

Your Golf Swing

It is proven that correct external biomechanics of a golf swing will maximise the distance and accuracy of all golf shots (your swing and your putting). This takes into account body angles, joint forces and muscle activity patterns. Your Golf Pro is the expert in showing you how to do this.

Intrinsic biomechanical factors that affect the swing can be due to restrictions and dysfunctions within the body. Pelvis, shoulder and spinal dysfunction commonly affect
the kinetic chain resulting in the swing and the shape of the shot being affected too.

For example:

A right-handed golfer with a dysfunctional right SI joint causing the right leg to be longer, coupled with a stiff thoracic spine, has a reasonably good chance of typically hitting a left to right shot. In a high handicapper this could have a destructive slice to the right.

Imagine . . . being able to drive further and play more shots with accuracy.

So when your body is stopping you from doing what your Golf Pro is teaching you, perhaps it’s time to consider a biomechanical analysis of your golf swing and see how it is affecting your quality of golf or risk of injury.

Sport Rehabilitation for Golfers Elbow

Golfers elbow is when the inner part of the elbow becomes painful because of disruption to the tendons that join the muscles of the forearm to the elbow.

Pain is experienced on the inside of the elbow when gripping or lifting the golf club. This progressively worsens with increased use of the arm and may radiate into the forearm. In severe cases sleep, can be interrupted and you may also get pain or stiffness in the whole arm, shoulder and neck.
