Golf Performance-Enhancement Program

The Schuylkill Rehabilitation Center Golf Performance-Enhancement Program is designed for the recreational and professional golfer who wants to improve his/her physical conditioning. Our Golf Performance Enhancement Program involves trained personnel. We have staff members who have completed a special program to become Certified Golf Fitness Instructors (CGFI) through the Titliest Golf Performance Institute, which is often featured on the Golf Channel.

During the Initial Assessment, our role is to evaluate your golf swing mechanics and design an individualized program for you with golf-specific exercises and stretches. After completion of the initial assessment, the participant is given the opportunity to continue with Individual Customized Training Sessions or join our ongoing Weekly Group Training Sessions.

This Program may benefit you, if…

• You are interested in improving the fundamentals and reducing the inconsistencies of your golf swing.
• You would like to address your overall strength and flexibility, and how they impact your golf swing.
• You experience back pain during or after your golf round, which may be due to poor posture or body mechanics.

Goals of the Program

• Increase the flexibility and strength of the golf swing motion.
• Increase the golfer’s body awareness during the golf swing motion.
• Increase the distance and accuracy of your golf shots.
• Improve coordination and reaction skills.
• Improve enjoyment of the game by improving the general fitness and conditioning of the golfer.
• Assist the golfer in developing a “swing memory” of the muscles involved in the golf swing.
• Assist the golfer in understanding the importance of golf lessons with their teaching professional.

Program Components

• A biomechanical assessment of the golfer’s swing, posture, flexibility, and strength.
• An exercise program to strengthen the “golf muscles” and develop the power, endurance, and reaction time to improve the golf swing motion.
• Establishing a swing memory with use of the “Coach” swing trainer.
• A video analysis of the golfer’s swing is used to further evaluate posture and flexibility as the golfer performs this complex movement (Optional).
• Instruction in an individualized or group program to maintain the positive benefits the golfer has gained from his/her participation in the enhancement program.
• Coordinate swing instruction with the golfer’s golf professional, if applicable, to implement the swing changes that improve flexibility and strength.
• Note: This program is NOT designed to teach you how to play the game of golf or guaranteed to improve your golf score.
