The golf swing is similar to baseball and tennis - every player has a characteristic swing.
Our physical therapists have found that handedness is one of the most important factors to
understand to correctly rehabilitate an injured golfer.
The muscles of a right-handed golfer may show patterns of weakness or stiffness that exactly mirror
the patterns found in a left-handed golfer.
Assessing any muscle weakness or stiffness is the first step in designing your physical therapy
rehabilitation plan of care.
Changing your golf swing may be difficult and unnecessary.
What is necessary is to correctly train the muscles, mainly yours legs and your abdominals, to allow
you to play golf with power and safety.
