When Golf Pain or Performance Plateaus Hold You Back
Golf might look low-impact, but ask your lower back, hips, or elbow how they feel after 18 holes.
Repetitive rotational forces add up, and for many golfers, the result is nagging pain that steals the joy out of a round, or worse, sidelines you entirely. Even without pain, many golfers hit a wall. You're putting in range time but your swing mechanics are inconsistent, your distance isn't improving, and you're not sure why. Generic fitness programs weren't designed for the demands of a golf swing. You deserve a physio who actually understands golf, someone who can connect what's happening in your body to what's happening in your swing.
What Is Golf Physiotherapy?
Golf physiotherapy is a specialized approach that combines movement assessment, manual therapy, and sport-specific rehabilitation to address the physical demands of golf. It's used to treat existing injuries like golfer's elbow, lower back pain, shoulder strain, and hip tightness, and to prevent new ones by identifying the mobility and strength imbalances that affect your mechanics.
It's not just about recovery. It's about helping you swing with more power, more efficiency, and less pain for the long haul.
