momentum golf physiotherapy

Struggling to achieve a full turn in your backswing?

Not hitting the ball as far as you used to?

Experiencing aches and pains during or after a round of golf?

Our golf programmes at Momentum is designed for golfers of all ages seeking to improve performance and prevent injury so that you can enjoy the game for longer. Through optimising your body’s movement patterns, a more efficient, consistent and pain-free way of swinging the club can be achieved. All sessions are led by our Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) certified golf physio Dom.

Don’t forget about the most important piece of equipment in the golf swing: your body.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

Golf Physical Screen

Duration: 60 minute session

It all starts here. In order to receive a tailored program to meet your personal goals we must start by assessing your swing and physical movement to understand where you’re currently at. A full body golf specific screen will be conducted alongside a swing analysis, followed by a report and video analysis explaining how one is affecting the other. Assess, don’t guess!

Then you can choose between two options:

Golf Fundamentals

Duration: Five (5) weeks; One (1) consult per week (45 mins)

This is the suggested option for most golfers. You will improve your body’s physical range of motion, coordination and stability to maximise your movement capabilities in relation to your golf swing. Through manual & exercise therapy in conjunction with a home exercise program, you will build a solid foundation before golf specific strength training so that you can enjoy pain and restriction free golf for longer.

Golf Elevate

Duration: Eight (8) weeks; Two (2) consults per week (60 mins)

This option is for those who are looking to go straight into golf specific strength training. Here, you will improve your ability to utilise ground reaction forces, increase club head speed and increase overall strength and athleticism.

It is suitable for golfers who don’t struggle with current injuries or pain (on & off the golf course) and already have a personalised mobility routine to address their individual areas of insufficiency.

Common PHYSICAL ISSUES YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT that WILL BE LIMITING YOUR ABILITY TO REACH YOUR Full potential:

Tightness in the middle and upper back, resulting in decreased rotation of the torso and shoulders during the backswing
Poor coordination in isolating movement between the upper and lower body, affecting the optimal firing sequence of the swing
Weak core and glute affecting ability to effectively transfer energy from the ground up, through the body, and into the ball
A rounded posture in the upper back, making it difficult to rotate adequately in the backswing due to the spine already being in a ‘locked’ position
Tightness in the hip joint, which leads to decreased rotation in the backswing or downswing. This typically causes the next segment up the chain - the lower back, to overwork which can result in discomfort or possible injury down the road

Who our golf programme is for:

Players looking to improve golfing performance
Identifying and removing current pain that is affecting your golf game
Reducing the risk of golf-related injuries, to keep you on the fairways and greens and not on the treatment table
Those wanting to play more frequently, for as long as possible (increasing longevity)
Developing a deeper knowledge and understanding of your own body so that you can make better golfing decisions

What to expect on the day:

All our sessions are one-on-one to ensure you get the most out of your time with us.
You are encouraged to wear or bring a set of clothes and shoes you’ll be comfortable moving around in. We will also have clothes available for you to borrow and change into.
We will have a standard mens and ladies 7 iron in the clinic for you to swing with, however you are more than welcome to bring in your own.
