Fitness and Wellness

Golf is a sport, and you are indeed an athlete. So why is fitness such a dirty word amongst so many of you?

To make significant improvement in your golf skills your fitness level needs to be assessed at the same time. Otherwise, you may be attempting to put a square peg in a round hole. For example…you covet a draw, yet your right shoulder has some significant restrictions. This will limit your ability to get into the proper positions required to produce that draw. You will either need to make changes to your fitness or adapt more comfortably to the power fade, which by the way is the ball flight of choice by most tour professionals.

The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) has dedicated itself to understanding how the body predicts the shape of your swing and the swing challenges (flaws) that you may have. If you work on only the flaws and not the functionality of the body your progress will be slow or non-existent.

If you do not assess, it is just a guess!

The TPI website, MyTPI.com, is a fabulous resource for understanding the body / swing connection. When you are ready to really take your game (and fitness) to the next level then you will want to see Briana Lackenby, Physical Therapist extraordinaire. Briana has over 24 years of experience in Orthopedic Physical Therapy and runs Lighthouse Concierge Physical Therapy. Not only is she an outstanding PT; she is also certified by TPI as a Level 2 Medical Professional. Briana can evaluate your golf fitness, address any nagging areas of concern or injury and design an exercise program specific to your golfing needs. TPI golf fitness evaluations can be performed right at the Jane Frost Golf Performance Center and can often be booked before or after your lessons for added convenience. Couple that with a Video and K-Vest 3D technology evaluation with Jane Frost, TPI Certified GP3, and you are well on your way
