GOLF INJURY ASSESSMENT & TREATMENT
The #1 barrier to improved performance and injury reduction on the golf course is the physical fitness and conditioning of the person swinging the club. The most common golf related problems treated are injuries to the low back, neck, shoulder, hip, elbow, and wrist. The vast majority of which are caused by poor body mechanics, poor swing biomechanics, no regular customized exercise program, and poor nutrition. The golf swing is an aggressive unilateral movement that creates imbalances in the body. These imbalances cause undue stress, wear and tear that eventually turn into sprain / strain injuries, tendinitis, arthritis, disc injuries, etc.
If you can improve your golf specific mobility and golf specific stability, you can become a more powerful, a more consistent, a more accurate, and pain free golfer.
80% of all golfing injuries are low back related. Whether you are a weekend warrior golfer or consider yourself a pro, stop by Tranquil Performance today and get out of the rough tomorrow! FORE...

GOLF MOVEMENT SCREEN
IDENTIFYING THE PLAYER'S PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
A golf movement screen involves a series of tests specific to the golf swing. These tests cover the categories of posture, flexibility, balance, muscular strength, endurance, and power. Not only will these tests provide information for the improvement of your golf swing, they also function as a tool for the development of your golf fitness program, the setting of goals, and measuring results.
GOLF MOVEMENT SCREEN IDENTIFIES FAULTY SWING CHARACTERISTICS
By screening golf specific movement patterns, functional limitations, weaknesses, imbalances and faulty swing characteristics can be identified. Once these weak links are identified, corrective exercises are assigned to improve the quality of movement. When this is accomplished the golfer will have a greater movement efficiency, which will lead to improved performance and decrease in injury potential.
C - POSTURE
Any excessive rounding of the upper back or thoracic spine in the golf address posture is termed a "C - Posture." This posture can simply be the result of a poor set-up position and can be corrected by physically adjusting the posture to a more neutral spine. Unfortunately, the majority of C - Postures are caused by a series of muscle imbalances and joint restrictions that are developed over many years.
SWAY
A "Sway" is any excessive lower body lateral movement away from the target during the back swing that forces the weight to the outside of the back foot. This faulty swing characteristic makes it very difficult to develop a proper weight shift during the transition and the downswing. This characteristic is commonly caused by a lack of hip internal rotation. If the body is unable to rotate around the hip due to joint or muscular restrictions, lateral movements will dominate the pattern and increase the chance of injury.
LOSS OF POSTURE
"Loss of Posture" is any significant alteration from the body's original set-up angles during the golf swing. Loss of posture can affect all aspects of the golf swing namely timing, balance, and rhythm. Research has shown that any limitation in performing a full overhead squat can force a player to lose pelvic posture during the downswing. Inability to perform a overhead squat means generalized stiffness and asymmetry in the musculature and joints of the lower and upper body.
