Flexibility & Strength

   The ultimate test in flexibility and strength of your golf swing is to synchronize    the force of your body combined with the speed of your hands and arms at the  same time . . . IMPACT!

   Some of the key areas involved in the swing are the hips, pelvis, lower  back, upper back, shoulders, arms, hands, legs and feet.  In fact, your swing depends on nearly every joint between the tips of the toes and the ends of the fingers.

   It is critical that the muscles, tendons, ligaments and spine be able to function dynamically at the right time, producing a coordinated and balanced swing. 

   Common everyday activities like working on computers or commuting long distances tend to decrease your flexibility, strength, balance and coordination.

   Flexibility training stretches our muscles, ligaments and tendons in a controlled, gradual and progressive way.  The net result, over time, is that the golf swing no longer stresses our muscles and joints to their extreme limits of motion.

   Improving trunk and spine flexibility for the recreational golfer will likely result both in improved swing performance and decreased risk of injury.

   Strength training involves body awareness, muscular control, coordination and balance - all key elements for improved golf.  When you perform resistance trainging, you increase blood flow through a functional range of motion, and strengthen the tendons and ligaments in your body's joints.  In conjunction with a stretching program, strength training improves flexibility.
