GOLF PERFORMANCE SERVICES IN CANTON CT
Did you know…
Did you know that BodyFit Physical Therapy offers a 3 Phase BodyFitGolf program for local Golfers?
Your body needs to MOVE in a complex, fast and powerful set of movement patterns, to consistently hit perfectly a tiny golf ball.
If your body does not move well or is weak then the cards are stacked against you right from the beginning.
- You will work harder at the game of golf…
- You will feel more sore, tired, stiff from the game of golf…
- You will be less successful at the game of golf…
- You may get injured from the golf…and will no longer be able to play.
BodyFitGolf was developed to service all PHYSICAL aspects of the golfer to improve distance, longevity and pain.
I am Titleist Performance Institute Level 1 certified and Titleist Performance Institute Fitness Level 2 certified.
My certifications provide me with the tools to assess your mobility, stabilkity, strength and power as it pertains to the most efficnet and effective golf swing…and a swing that will help you hit the ball farther, keep you pain free, and keep you playing for years to come
Oftentimes when a golfer is working on his/her game, they go for lessons, buy new clubs, or hit up social media (Facebook and Instagram and YouTube) to find that flashy/sexy golf guy or gal that has this cool new exercise (that always looks golf-ish) that they promote will fix all your issues. But it doesn’t. It may be a bandaid for a few rounds and seemingly help but in reality more work needs to be done and a quick workaround or a gadget won’t fix all the issues I see with my golfers.
ISSUES THAT COME UP:
POOR MOBILITY
*Poor mobility in the neck, shoulders, hands, thoracic spine, hips and ankles all play a part in the golf swing. Having any barriers to movement, or what I like to describe also as having “the governor on”, puts the breaks on and stops the body moving into it’s full range. When one region doesn’t move well, then the next region in the Kinematic Sequence gets compromised. The proper rotation is shortened, balance is sacrificed, and then there is a loss of consistency and power.
A targeted mobilitiy and consistent program can help.
POOR STRENGTH & CORE STABILIZATION
The lumbar spine was not designed to be a source of mobility. And when mobility is limited in other regions of the body, the body then borrows mobility from the lumbar spine, leading to pain and injury. An understanding of this issue and the proper focus on strengthening of the core region to include the abdominals, transverse/obliques, spine muscles, pelvic floor and GLUTES can all help create the stability and strength your body needs during the golf swing to generate effective and injury-free power.
LOSS OF BALANCE
Remember that complex, fast and powerful series of movements? Well where would all that be if you did not have BALANCE? Can you imagine taking your backswing on roller skates? Maybe a bit of an exaggeration but poor balance is a problem for many golfers. While you are laser focused on that little ball, you lose the ability to utilize your visual system to help your body stay balanced. Then you add the centripetal forces of the golf swing and you have little to rely on to stay balanced and grounded. Having the abilty to utilize the ground forces can help you develop a powerful golf swing, not to mention stay in position for a full backswing and finish your downswing.
Some of my golfers cannot stand longer than 5 seconds on one foot with their eyes closed!
What a shame because this can usually be fixed.
