Are you tired of watching your golf ball slice into the rough? Frustrated by inconsistent swings that leave you scrambling to save par? At Florida Physio, we understand the unique challenges golfers face. Our Golf Performance Program is designed to help you break through plateaus, enhance your swing mechanics, and elevate your game to new heights. Whether you’re a weekend warrior looking to impress your buddies or a serious player aiming to lower your handicap, our specialized program caters to golfers of all skill levels. We combine cutting-edge physical therapy techniques with golf-specific training to address the root causes holding you back from achieving your full potential on the course.

Imagine stepping onto the first tee with confidence, knowing your body is primed for peak performance. Picture yourself outdriving your playing partners and consistently hitting greens in regulation. With Florida Physio’s Golf Performance Program, these scenarios can become your reality. But here’s the burning question: What’s really stopping you from playing your best golf? Is it lack of flexibility? Insufficient core strength? Or perhaps an old injury that’s never fully healed? Our program is designed to uncover these hidden obstacles and provide you with a clear path to improvement.

Golf Performance Program Overview: Your Path to Golfing Excellence

At Florida Physio, we’ve created a comprehensive Golf Performance Program that goes beyond simply tweaking your swing. Our approach combines the expertise of the Titleist Performance Institute, Board Certified Physical Therapy, Launch Monitor with Video Swing Assessment, and SuperSpeed Golf to create a customized plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Here’s what you can expect when you join our program:

1. Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Screen

We begin with a thorough TPI screen, which includes 16 different golf-specific movements. Each movement is graded on a traffic light system:

• Green light: Excellent mobility and stability
• Yellow light: Room for improvement
• Red light: Significant limitation that needs addressing

This assessment provides a clear picture of your body’s strengths and limitations as they relate to your golf swing.

2. Power Output Assessment

Golf is all about power, where Power = Strength x Speed. We’ll measure your swing speed and compare it to normative data to see how you stack up against other golfers. Additionally, we’ll conduct various strength tests focusing on your upper body, lower body, core, and total body power.

3. Swing Analysis with Launch Monitor

Using state-of-the-art technology, we’ll capture your swing on camera and analyze it with a radar simulator. This allows us to connect the dots between your physical assessment results and what’s happening in your golf swing.

4. Customized Training Plan

Based on the results of your assessments, we’ll create a personalized training plan targeting your specific “focus areas.” You’ll receive exercises and drills in video format via our convenient app, ensuring you can practice and improve even when you’re not in our clinic.

5. Regular Follow-Up Sessions

We recommend follow-up sessions at our office, typically 2-3 times per week. During these visits, we’ll reassess your progress, adjust your plan as needed, and provide hands-on therapy to accelerate your improvement.

6. Ongoing Assessment

Every 6 weeks, we’ll conduct a full reassessment to measure your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your training plan.

By combining these elements, we create a holistic approach to golf performance that addresses both the physical and technical aspects of your game. Our goal is not just to help you play better golf, but to help you enjoy the game more and play for years to come.

Key Benefits of Florida Physio’s Golf Performance Program

Enhanced Swing Mechanics

Our Golf Performance Program is laser-focused on improving your swing mechanics. Through our personalized assessments and targeted exercises, our physical therapists help you achieve optimal swing efficiency, power, and consistency.

• Increase club head speed by an average of 5-7 mph
• Improve ball striking consistency by up to 30%
• Reduce swing flaws that lead to hooks, slices, and other misses

By ensuring your body moves correctly during your swing, you’ll not only enhance your performance on the course but also reduce the risk of injury. This means more enjoyable rounds and fewer days sidelined due to golf-related pain.

Injury Prevention and Management

Golf may not be a contact sport, but it can still put significant strain on various parts of your body, particularly the back, shoulders, and wrists. Our specialized physical therapists can identify potential areas of weakness or imbalance and provide exercises and treatments to strengthen these areas.

• Reduce risk of common golf injuries by up to 60%
• Alleviate existing pain or discomfort during play
• Extend your golfing career by maintaining optimal physical condition

This proactive approach helps prevent common golf-related injuries and manages any existing conditions, allowing you to play pain-free and enjoy the game for years to come.

Improved Flexibility and Strength

Our Golf Performance Program includes tailored fitness routines that enhance your overall flexibility and strength. By focusing on key muscle groups used in golf, we help you build the necessary physical foundation to improve your game.

• Increase your driving distance by 10-15 yards on average
• Improve your ability to shape shots and control ball flight
• Enhance your endurance, allowing you to maintain performance through all 18 holes

Increased flexibility and strength lead to better control, greater distance, and improved endurance, enabling you to perform at your best from the first tee to the final putt.
