Did you know that all of the movement that happens from playing golf for 18 holes (walking between shots included) reportedly places more stress on the knees than jogging a similar distance?

When you think about golf courses, it is rare to find one that's flat and carrying around golf bags can add a lot of extra weight to your body. Add in how much your knees are used when you're playing the game and you get a sense of how much strain there is on the knees in a round of golf.

It's important to ensure before, after and during games you stretch and warm up the knees to help prevent injury. If they are not in good condition, we advise you speak with your Sports and Exercise or Golf trained Health Professional to assess the injury and determine a game plan for recovery.

If you're looking for excersie ideas for how you can strengthen your knees and legs, check out our Exercise Library!

Any exercise interventions that are tailored to you to address your individual needs are not just intended to be done in sessions. Instead, it's essential you aim to complete these regularly both in your treatment sessions, on the range, in warm-ups, at the gym or wherever possible. This form of consistency helps to further improve your golf technique and game.

How might we make drills more applicable for the golfer and thus useful for range sessions or warm ups?

The goal of all exercise interventions is not to have them completed in treatment sessions or the gym ONLY. It is essential that options should be ‘carried over’ to the golf swing. Thus the exercises need to be applicable to warm-up content, on the range and wherever possible to be as golf specific as possible.

With the challenges created by COVID, a need has arisen to provide on-line monitoring for developing and elite golfers.

At The Golf Athlete we realise that face to face consulting time is the cornerstone of accurate measurement of some key physical parameters that are linked to elite golf performance – both now and over time. Now, 90% of the monitoring can be done remotely with wearables and consistent access to elite Physical Performance staff.

It is for this reason that we are offering Annual Performance Consulting Services/Agreements for Golfers who are aspiring to compete at the highest level now and into the future. If you are interested in this services email us at [email protected] or make an appointment on www.calendly.com/thegolfathlete to discuss the details for you or your players.
