Golf specific physiotherapy involves customising and integrating an individual’s body to their golf swing. This process includes posture analysis, muscle imbalance assessment, muscular-skeleto screening, video analysis and the latest Titleist Performance Institute screening program.
Leading international golf physiotherapist Ramsay McMaster undertakes these screenings and presents a number of “Train like a Tour Player” workshops that look at areas such as spinal care, tournament preparation, travel and posture. Customized sessions can then be arranged in physiotherapy, myotherapy and massage.
In the 21st century, the image of golfers is increasingly steering away from the 'bellied' stereotype. Today, professional golfers are athletes. Golf-specific physiotherapist Ramsay McMaster is leading the way in the physiological transformation of the sport.
Ramsay and his team offer a variety of programs designed for golfers at all levels. Whether you are fit or injured, a keen amateur or touring professional, a junior or senior golfer; Ramsay and his team of expert physiotherapists and myotherapists can tailor make a golf specific fitness training programme just for you. Here are just some example programs that can be tailored to meet your exact needs.
Preparing for a life as a touring golf professional or just improving as a casual golfer involves more than just hitting golf balls. Players are able to expand other areas of their lives and communicate with experts that assist them with topics such as goal setting, finance, time management and developing confidence.
For golfers to perform at their best they need to find an edge, and in recent times the bar has been raised, to be fitter and leaner than ever before. Not being at your optimum weight can also make a player more susceptible to physical fatigue, resulting in a potential loss of skill and concentration. Ramsay McMaster and his team offer nutrition sessions that focus on preparation for regular and tournament nutrition and fluid replacement. Players learn the benefits of a balanced diet and are given individual assessments and prescribed personal diets.
Biomechanical analysis is integrated with physical screenings and assessments, which create the basis for coaching direction and conditioning programs to enhance performance. Biofeedback training provides real-time kinaesthetic feedback, accelerating technical development and the learning of the ‘feels’ associated with technique change.
For a strength and conditioning program to improve your game and reduce injury it must address an individual’s strengths and weaknesses. These can be highlighted by physical screenings, biomechanical analysis and coaching video analysis. Knowing how an individual’s game is being limited by their body allows the Strength and Conditioning Coach to tailor a strengthening program that will maximise the effectiveness of your practice and game day results.
