How Can Physiotherapy Assist With Golfing Injuries

Is your body feeling below par?
Don’t bury your head in the sand. Come and see a physiotherapist.

If you’re a golfer, you’ll know playing the game is not just a walk in the park. Besides the six or seven-kilometre trudge, there’s also the explosive element; the swivel; the swing; the flexibility; and the power.

At the end of a round, your body is acutely aware of the workout you’ve given it. Victory, of course, is a great healer, but even that doesn’t numb the aches and pains forever.

Golfing injuries are more common than you might think. Believe it or not, golf is surprisingly high up on the list of sports that cause the most injuries, and many of the 60 million people around the world who play, carry their niggles with them through the week.

If you find something is hampering your swing, you’re feeling under par, or are temporarily handicapped by a sore back, get in touch with Northern District Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic. We see plenty of golf injuries.

Usually, our golfers present with lower back, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hip injuries. The most common causes include overuse, poor swing mechanics, lack of warm-up, and poor posture.
The good thing is, we can help with all of them. At NDPE, we’ll work out and treat the root cause of the problem and help you strengthen the area. Our physiotherapists will also give you advice on how to prevent the injury recurring.

So stop putting it off. Call NDPE on 02 9874 8410 and get your injury assessed.
