Perfecting Your Swing: Golf Physical Therapy in Mansfield

Golf is a game of precision, skill, and technique, but it’s also physically demanding. Repetitive swings, long hours on the course, and the forces exerted during play can take a toll on your body.

At MyPhysio Physical Therapy & Golf Performance in Mansfield, TX, we specialize in helping golfers optimize their performance, prevent injuries, and recover from setbacks. Through golf-specific physical therapy, we ensure you stay at the top of your game.

Why Golfers Need Physical Therapy

The golf swing is a complex motion requiring strength, flexibility, and coordination. Without proper mechanics and physical conditioning, golfers are at risk for:

• Overuse Injuries: Such as golfer’s elbow, back pain, or wrist strain from repetitive swings.

• Muscle Imbalances: Weakness or tightness in certain areas can disrupt your swing and lead to discomfort.

• Joint Stress: The rotational forces in a swing can strain the shoulders, hips, and spine.

• Performance Plateaus: Limited mobility or improper technique can hinder your progress.

Physical therapy addresses these challenges by improving strength, mobility, and swing mechanics.

How MyPhysio Enhances Golf Performance

At MyPhysio, we offer a comprehensive golf physical therapy program tailored to your unique needs.

1. Golf-Specific Assessments

We begin with a detailed evaluation of your swing mechanics, flexibility, strength, and posture. Using Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) guidelines, we identify areas of weakness or limitation that impact your game.

2. Mobility and Flexibility Training

A full range of motion is essential for a powerful, consistent swing. Therapy includes stretches, joint mobilizations, and exercises to enhance flexibility in key areas like:

• Shoulders: For better rotation and follow-through.

• Hips: To support a smooth, balanced swing.

• Spine: For improved posture and core stability.

3. Strength and Power Development

Strength is key to driving distance and swing stability. We design exercises targeting:

• Core Muscles: For rotational power and balance.

• Lower Body Strength: To generate force and maintain stability.

• Upper Body Strength: For club control and consistent impact.

4. Injury Prevention Techniques

Preventing injuries is as important as recovering from them. We teach proper warm-up routines, swing mechanics, and recovery strategies to keep you on the course.

5. Post-Injury Rehabilitation

If you’re recovering from a golf-related injury, our therapists guide you through a structured program to reduce pain, restore function, and safely return to play.
