How chiropractic can improve your golf game

With the British Open this weekend, it is only prudent that we talk about chiropractic care and the golf swing. Like many of you, I will be watching the pros get effortlessly around the course thinking, “I can do that,” whilst swinging an imaginary club in the lounge room.

Chiropractic has become extremely popular within the golfing world with the majority of PGA professional health teams having chiropractic involvement. A little-known golfer called Tiger Woods once said, “I have been going to a chiropractor for as long as I can remember. It is as important to my training as the practice of my swing.”

Although we cannot promise to make you the next Bryson Dechambeau hitting 350-yard-plus bombs, or guarantee you won’t hit that massive slice off the first tee box!

There are several benefits chiropractic care can have on your golf game. These include:

● Improved ROM – Enhancing joint mobility can allow golfers to produce a smoother, fuller swing.

● Injury prevention – By addressing any imbalances within the body a chiropractor can help to reduce the risk of golf related injuries.

● Enhanced posture – Having the correct posture is essential to having a consistent and effective golf swing. (Unless you are Scottie Scheffler.)

● Performance Optimisation – By ensuring the nervous system is functioning at an optimal level, golfers can achieve a more efficient swing allowing the transfer of power from body to ball as consistently as possible.

All of these enable you to have a more efficient and reproducible swing that hopefully gets you around the course with a lower score. Quit wasting time puttering around - come and see me, or drive down to your local Chiro London clinic and tee up your care today!
