Golf is a sport that requires flexibility, power, and technique, and it can lead to injuries in individuals who have deficiencies in any of these components.

The role of a physiotherapist for golfers, regardless of their skill level, is to analyze the biomechanics of the swing and that of the body to understand what modifications/exercises the golfer needs to incorporate into their routine to prevent or recover from injuries. Additionally, since there isn’t a single way to swing a golf club, a personalized evaluation with a certified professional is essential.

Simon Dalle-Vedove, a physiotherapist, has completed Level 1 Certification from the prestigious Titleist Performance Institute (TPI). This training equips medical professionals with the tools to properly assess golf-specific injuries and provides the best rehabilitation techniques to assist players in returning to the game.
