Golf Assessments
Is your body able to move correctly so that you can execute an efficient golf swing.
The golf swing requires the body to move through a large range of motion and in the correct sequence.
Many golfers buy expensive clubs and take numerous lessons from golf professional but still don't see much progress with their golf games.
Physical conditioning is the missing component. This includes improving aspects of the body that affect performance.

At Albany Creek Physiotherapy we conduct a comprehensive physical screening that is specific to golf.
This will illustrate the physical limitations that are holding you back from playing your best golf. This is combined with digital swing analysis to help identify the physical issues that are at fault.

He has also worked on the Australasian golf tour at the PGA championship that was played at Coolum.
