Prepping for Spring Golf!

Whether you are a high handicapper or a scratch player, one common trait most golfers share is the desire to play better golf; to hit the ball further, with more control and develop a swing that is reliable and consistent.  Working with a PGA professional is an important step in becoming a better golfer AND performing certain exercises that will unlock your body’s potential is critical step on the path of lower scores and more enjoyment of the game.

These are some of the important areas we will discuss in this blog series:

• Neck mobility
• Upper back strength
• Postural muscle strength
• Hip mobility
• Abdominal strength
• Gluteal strength

The biggest frustration in taking golf lessons lies in the inability of the student to be able to physically comply with the golf pro’s instructions. At Praxis Physical Therapy and Human Performance, we can help you enhance your body’s ability to move correctly and give you the ability to develop a better golf swing; a golf swing that is based on proper mechanics just like the ones you see from the PGA pros!
