Most people take for granted that if your feet are planted, your arms can swing fast and through the ball. But a golf swing is no different than a cricket batsman swing or a place kicker's kick: You need stability and resistance to be able to efficiently move the body in a specific motion.

Proper posture is essential for golf performance. Without proper posture a golfer could not get into the required positions needed to consistently keep the club on its proper path. Although the golf swing looks symmetrical, one side of the body is used much differently than the other. Different stabilities are needed throughout different parts of the swing phase; therefore we must activate and dynamically train specific patterns of movement to be able to achieve the most efficient swing for each person.

Another very important part of a golfers swing is flexibility and range of movement. A golfer has to be able to maintain and use a specific range of movement threw there back, shoulders and neck (to name a few!) to be able to consistently hit a ball.

A question that is often asked when a golfer’s game alters is ‘why’?

Are you doing anything different from normal or has your range of movement changed due to tight muscles or general joint stiffness due to poor work posture or a lack of flexibility maintenance.

At Citisport we assess your golfing range of movement so that you are aware of your ability and assess your static and dynamic stability and using exercise help you create a firmer base from which to use your swing.
