Golf may seem like a low-impact sport, but the repetitive motions and twisting movements can take a toll on your body. Common golf injuries include:

• Lower back pain
• Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries
• Elbow tendinitis (golfer's elbow)
• Wrist sprains
• Knee problems

Without proper treatment and rehabilitation, these injuries can become chronic and significantly impact your golf game and overall quality of life.

Our Approach to Golf Rehab

At PhysioLinks, we take a comprehensive approach to golf rehab, addressing not only your injury but also the underlying biomechanical and movement patterns that may have contributed to it. Our goal is to help you recover fully and reduce your risk of future injuries.

Our golf rehab program includes:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of your injury and assess your overall movement patterns, strength, flexibility, and golf swing mechanics.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on our evaluation, we develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. This may include:

• Manual therapy techniques (e.g., soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization)
• Therapeutic exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and stability
• Golf-specific exercises to enhance your swing mechanics
• Modalities (e.g., ultrasound, electrical stimulation) to reduce pain and inflammation

3. Golf Swing Analysis

Our physiotherapists are trained in golf swing analysis, using cutting-edge technology to evaluate your swing mechanics and identify areas for improvement. We then incorporate golf-specific exercises and drills into your rehab program to help you develop a more efficient and injury-free swing.

4. Education and Injury Prevention

At PhysioLinks, we believe that education is key to preventing future injuries. We'll provide you with valuable insights into proper warm-up and cool-down routines, stretching techniques, and exercise programs to maintain your strength, flexibility, and overall fitness for golf.
