Physiotherapy

An experienced physiotherapist will assess your joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves for damage caused by trauma or poor posture or technique. No fancy gadgets or machines. Just a thorough examination and testing to determine what is wrong and what treatment is required.

Hands on

Experienced physiotherapists use skilled palpation to identify differences between healthy and injured tissues. Massage and soft-tissue techniques may support the body's natural healing processes and can be useful components of a treatment plan.

Rehabilitation

Exercise comes in many forms.  Where appropriate, clients will be given exercises to help with posture at work or home and a combination of strength, balance, stability and stretching exercises to make a long term difference.

 

 

Bernie is a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Certified Medical Professional. An in-depth understanding of the stresses placed on the body during the golf swing helps identify potential injuries and understand the factors that influence swing mechanics.

 

START Clinic can  perform a dynamic screening process which assesses everything from neck range of movement to your ability to stand on one leg with your eyes closed. All 16 tests affect your ability to swing a golf club efficiently. Just working on a few identified areas of stiffness and weakness can dramatically improve your ball striking and decrease the risk of injury.

 

Identifying the areas that need improvement is only the first step. Understanding how to address them, and why it matters, helps you take a more informed approach to improving your performance.

 

Give it a go. I am totally confident that you will gain more than just information.
