FAQ’s

What is golf physiotherapy?

Our golf physiotherapists, Andrew and Rhen, are specially trained to assess and treat injuries that are specific to golfers. We understand that the golf swing requires a combination of mobility, stability and power to provide the most effective result. Therefore, we have developed a state-of-the-art golf fitness assessment inspired by the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) along with our own expertise, in order to screen golfers for any physical limitations that may be inhibiting their performance or leading to injury. 

What can I achieve from a golf assessment? 

The most common reason why golfer’s undertake our golf assessment is for pain relief.  However, there are many other benefits. These include: 

  • Identification of the ‘why’ pain is occurring in the first place 

  • Treatment of golf-related injuries

  • Injury prevention

  • Increase shot distance

  • Improve shot accuracy

  • Achieve optimal swing efficiency i.e. swing with the least amount of effort 

What does a golf assessment involve? 

  • 2 x one hour physical assessments. These include:

    • 15 x movements assessing flexibility and mobility (e.g. shoulder turn, hip flexibility)

    • 4 x strength movements on our AxIT technology (e.g. pushing, pulling, squatting) 

    • 3 x power movements (e.g. vertical jump) 

  • Golf swing assessment on our revolutionary SkyTrak golf simulator 

  • Analysis of your swing characteristics and ongoing two-way communication with your golf professional 

  • ‘Hands-on’ physiotherapy treatment of injuries

  • Prescription of an individualised exercise program based on the results of your golf assessment. This includes ongoing access to exercise videos via PhysiApp mobile application
