Sports Scientist & Rehabilitation Specialist
What is Sports Rehabilitation?
Following an injury (sporting or otherwise), or for physical strengthening, a rehabilitation specialist helps a patient regain mobility and range of motion through corrective exercise and advanced techniques such as Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation to restore optimal neuromuscular and skeletal function.
Rehabilitation following Injury or Surgery.
Most people unfortunately suffer from some sort of musculoskeletal injury during their adult life. This can commonly be due to occupation and/or postural habits or even a sporting injury. The period of time following the initial treatment is critical. A sports rehab specialist working together with your Osteopath and/or Physio ensures a long term recovery plan and professional management of your condition.
Golf Specific Rehabilitation.
At any given time 53% of amateur and 30% of professional golfers are playing with an injury - are you? Is your swing restricted due to injury or postural problems?
Poor swing mechanics is basically inefficient movement patterns. Opposite muscles can inhibit one another in an attempt to maintain an efficient movement pattern. This increases demands on other parts of the body which over time will create stress on muscles, tendons and ligaments resulting in injury. You can avoid these potential problems which will reduce the longevity of your golfing game by taking a prehabilitive approach.
