In today's competitive climate many social, amateur and professional golfers are seeking advice and guidance from a variety of professionals in an attempt to improve their golf swing. The first port of call is most commonly the teaching professional who assists with technical deficiencies. However, many golfers also have physical limitations, which prevent them from realizing their full potential.

Golf medicine works in close conjunction with the teaching professional and the golfer in addressing these limitations. A golf specific musculoskeletal screening process that Golf Medicine has developed and refined enables us to determine these physical limitations. We then develop individualised golf specific exercise programs aimed at correcting these limitations.

Golf medicine also has an important role in the injury prevention and management of the golfer.  This is evidenced by the fact research has shown that over 50% of all golfers will suffer an injury at some stage. The physically demanding nature of the golf swing also provides further support. The golf swing has been shown to place more then eight times the recommended guidelines for safe lifting weight, through the golfers spine during each swing.

The golf swing requires very specific movements of the body. These specific movements of the swing are largely dictated by your physical capabilities i.e. flexibility, strength, control and endurance. Golf medicine is able to assess these aspects of a golfers fitness in order to identify any potential injury areas.

We then recommend preventative and or rehabilitative programs to address the specific needs of each golfer. Golf medicine is dedicated to providing a holistic approach to the aspiring golfer!
