Golf Swing Analysis
Most golfers will either suffer a back injury or be restricted in playing golf due to back, neck, shoulder, elbow or wrist pain. Improving mobility and muscle balance can help prevent these problems. Good postural control, spinal mobility and muscle balance will not only improve your swing, but prevent injuries. Video analysis of your body movements can highlight problems and develop an exercise program to rectify them.
Chris Keevil has completed specific golf rehabilitation courses called “Get Fit for Golf” specifically designed to improve golfers' performance through improved physical health. This is recognized by the PGA and used by numerous professional golfers around the world.
