The new golf season has begun with an amazing win from Tiger at the Masters and everybody is itching to get started! At ESP we have hear a lot of golfers say they play with pain and physical restrictions. It can be frustrating when these limitations affect your golf game. With the right physical screening and guidance all golf players can improve their physical condition and movement efficiency.
In winter 2018 ESP started working with local PGA golf professional Stewart Craig based at Forthview Golf centre In Airth. ESP completed physical assessments with all players using the Titleist Performance Institute 16 point screen. Tom compared the screening results to 3D biomechanical assessments from Stewart to design personalized training programs for the off season. The results have been successful with committed clients improving their flexibility and strength.
Another interesting tool has been being able to use the force plate data from Stewart. This is a golfers signature of movement efficiency. Only through specific conditioning and movement practice can golfers learn to better use their feet to create energy and speed from contact with the ground. Common exercises we have been using to create better mobility are:
