Want to play like Tiger Woods?

Musculo-Skeletal Screening or ‘Athletic Profiling’ was first introduced by Inter Milan when giving a potential new signing their medical in order to avoid buying an injured player. Adapted to golf, it can be used to identify potential problems associated with the many physical attributes (such as posture, balance, flexibility, strength, power, control, timing and endurance) which work together in harmony to produce a good swing.

Subtle problems with any of these characteristics can produce a less than optimal swing, a greater risk of injury and act as a physical obstacle preventing you from reaching your potential in golf. The good news is that in most cases, simple personalised exercises can give you the strength and flexibility you need to improve your performance.

Therapy Direct Healthcare are bringing ‘Athletic Profiling’ to the North East and can provide an assessment specific to golf related injuries. A sort of sport specific MOT including observations and tests designed to identify current and future problems, it allows the physiotherapist to determine if you require treatment and/or an individualised golf specific strength and conditioning program.
