About Pilates for Golfers
Hit the ball further, straighter and more accurately with less chance of injury.
Golf requires repeating the same essential movements. This can cause imbalances in the body as some muscles become overused and others weakened. For a golfer, muscle imbalances can affect the legs, hips, arms, shoulders, and the lower back. This in turn affects your game – you may be lacking distance and accuracy on your drives.
With muscle imbalances there is also a greater potential for injury and your stamina may decrease due to inefficient movements.
Pilates for Golfers focuses on strengthening and mobilising muscles required specifically for golf to reduce or eliminate these imbalances. When your body is working at its best, your overall enjoyment and longevity will improve too.
