Relieve Pain & Improve Your Golf Game with Golf Specific Physical Therapy

At Body-N-Balance, we help golfers improve their game by addressing the physical demands of the golf swing. Our one-on-one physical therapy and performance training programs focus on mobility, strength, and the biomechanics of the golf swing so you can hit the ball longer, feel stronger, and play pain-free.

Each session takes place in a private treatment room with a licensed physical therapist who understands golf mechanics and how the body must move to generate power, control, and consistency.

Featured Golf Athlete: Larry Nelson

Larry Nelson was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2006 and has won three major championships, including the U.S. Open (1983) and PGA Championship (1981, 1987).

Through Body-N-Balance’s physical therapy and movement training programs, he was able to extend his playing career and maintain the flexibility and strength required for competitive golf.

“I came to Body-N-Balance in 2004 with the goal of preventing hip surgery and extending my career. Twenty years later, I am continuing to play and live a healthy and active lifestyle.”

Common Golf Injuries We Treat

Golf involves repetitive rotation, weight shifting, and powerful swings that place stress on multiple joints and muscle groups.

Repetitive gripping and swinging can strain the forearm tendons, causing pain on the inside of the elbow. Physical therapy helps reduce inflammation, restore forearm strength, and improve swing mechanics to prevent recurring strain.
Inflammation of the tissue along the bottom of the foot can cause heel pain during walking or standing. Treatment focuses on improving foot mechanics, calf flexibility, and lower-leg strength.
The rotational forces of the golf swing place significant stress on the spine. Physical therapy improves spinal mobility, core stability, and movement control to reduce strain on the lower back.
Weight shifting and rotational movement during the swing can irritate the knee joint. Therapy focuses on strengthening surrounding muscles and improving alignment to reduce joint stress.
Repeated swings or impact with the ground can strain wrist tendons and ligaments. Treatment helps restore wrist mobility and strengthen supporting muscles.
Limited shoulder mobility or muscle imbalance can cause pain during the golf swing. Physical therapy improves shoulder stability, posture, and range of motion.
Uneven terrain on the golf course can lead to ankle instability. Rehabilitation focuses on restoring balance, strength, and joint stability.
Overuse and tight calf muscles can strain the Achilles tendon. Physical therapy helps improve flexibility and strengthen the lower leg.

Long rounds of walking and pushing off during swings may strain calf muscles. Therapy helps restore strength and endurance.
Tightness in the hip muscles can irritate the sciatic nerve, causing hip or leg pain. Treatment focuses on improving hip mobility and muscle balance.
Repetitive gripping can compress nerves in the wrist. Physical therapy helps reduce irritation and improve hand and wrist mechanics.
Inflammation of thumb tendons caused by repeated wrist movement during gripping. Treatment focuses on tendon recovery and improving wrist stability.
Muscle fatigue during long rounds can cause cramping. Therapy improves endurance, flexibility, and hydration awareness.
Repetitive knee stress can irritate the tendon below the kneecap. Strengthening exercises help support the knee joint.
Rotational forces during the swing may strain the hip flexors. Therapy restores hip mobility and strengthens surrounding muscles.
Improper footwear or repeated push-off movements may cause pain in the forefoot or toes. Treatment improves foot mechanics and weight distribution.

How GYROTONIC® Training Improves Your Golf Game

At Body-N-Balance, many golfers incorporate GYROTONIC® Training as part of their physical therapy and performance program.

GYROTONIC® exercises use circular, spiral movements that mirror the natural rotation of the golf swing, making it an ideal system for golfers.

Benefits for golfers include:

Increased rotational mobility through the spine and hips
Improved core strength and stability
Greater flexibility and fluid movement
Better posture and swing mechanics
Reduced strain on the lower back and shoulders

Because the golf swing is a rotational, full-body movement, improving spinal mobility and core control can significantly improve both power and consistency.

Many golfers find that combining physical therapy with GYROTONIC® Training allows them to swing more efficiently while reducing injury risk.
