The Benefits of Massage Therapy and Golf
Golf season is now upon us, and we’re all ‘FOR’ it!🏌️
I’ve been keeping a little secret 👀. 8 months ago, Trehaven Golf & Country Club (14 mins from us in Hawkestone), reached out and asked us to be a helpful part of your 2023 golf recovery and prevention, and we sure would love to! ⛳️
Golf is very physically demanding. An effective golf swing requires strength, stability, explosive power, flexibility, and athletic ability to perform a movement that produces some of the fastest club head and ball speeds of any sport. 💪
The effect of these repeated large forces on the body can lead to many different types of discomfort and possible injuries. From lower back pain, golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis), to rotator cuff/shoulder injuries, sports massage therapy can help relieve pain and improve overall performance. 🏌️♀️
Our focus is on reducing tension in the back, hamstrings, hip flexors, shoulders, forearms, and wrists to create a bigger shoulder turn, improved hip & back flexibility, and more powerful torque to produce a higher finish. Targeting these areas are a helpful way to improve your overall golf game! 💆
More Benefits of Massage for Golfers:
- Improves circulation that assists in removing metabolic wastes that can accumulate in muscles due to overuse and the repetitive motion of the golf swing.
- Reduces muscle spasms, trigger points (muscle knots), and adhesions that need to be addressed to help prevent injury and improve quality of movement.
- Improve range of motion and muscle flexibility resulting in increased power and performance.
- Improves mental focus.
With regular sports massage, the improvements in a golfer’s performance and reduction in discomfort & injuries can be significant. Whether you are a weekend warrior or a touring professional, including massage therapy can help you to avoid injury, enhance your golf performance, and play more pain-free golf!
