Course & Performance Rehab

Golf

Golf is a precision sport with a surprisingly high injury rate. Low back pain, hip restrictions, and rotator cuff issues are what we see most — and we know how to keep you on the course.

Golf is a deceptively demanding sport — the rotational forces through the spine during a full swing, repeated thousands of times a season, create a very specific pattern of overuse injuries. Low back pain, hip and SI joint dysfunction, and elbow tendinopathy are among the most common conditions we treat in golfers. Our team provides golf-specific assessment and rehabilitation designed to keep you playing and improve your performance.

Our Approach

We assess your swing mechanics, mobility, and movement patterns to identify what's driving your injury — not just where it hurts. Custom foot orthotics can correct ground-force mechanics and reduce the load through the knee and hip, and our manual therapy and exercise programs are designed around the specific ranges of motion your swing demands.

Common Golf Injuries We Treat

Low Back Pain & Disc Injuries

The most common golf injury. We address the underlying movement limitations and load the spine progressively through the swing range.

Hip & Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Hip mobility restrictions and SI joint pain limit rotation and force transfer through the swing. Manual therapy, mobilization, and exercise.

Rotator Cuff Injuries

Shoulder impingement and cuff irritation from the follow-through. Progressive shoulder loading and rotational control work.

Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Medial elbow pain from the grip and impact forces of the swing. Shockwave therapy, manual therapy, and eccentric loading protocols.

Wrist Injuries

Lead wrist tendinopathy and TFCC injuries from impact and follow-through forces. Splinting, manual therapy, and return-to-swing rehab.

Knee Pain

Lead knee medial pain from the rotational demands of the downswing. Custom orthotics and lower limb biomechanics assessment.
