The prerequisite for a good performance in each sports is the interaction between the individual technique and the unrestricted bodyfunction.This means on the golfcourse accurate shots and a constant stability but also unrestricted mobility of the body during the golfswing.
Every athlet of each level is somehow limited in a movement or in complex movement patterns. This limitation exceeds influence on the bodytrunk or the posture of the individual joints. One sign in the golfswing is an unsuficient or incorrect bodyrotation or very often the incapacity the stabilize this rotation. These incorrect movements can be caused by functional or structure insuficiencies. They have their origin in e.g. previous surgerys, joint replacements or sistemic illnesses that eventually lead to a limitation in te range of motion of joints. This leads mandatorilyto compensational movements and theirfore to an incorrect swing.
In the Foot & Sports Clinic Marbella we can detect all insuficiencies of the locomotor system with a help of a complex analysis which includes the swing technique as well and with the correspondant treatment these insuficiencies can be corrected or at least improved.
The sports orthopedic clinical examination of the patient/player is being performed through Dr. Spurek. This evaluation of the entire locomotor system first excludes contraindications towards the sportive impact of golf on the patient and furthermore detects functional or strucural insuficiencies of the player. Our physiotherapists then continue with a complex examination of the cooperation of the correspondant muscle groups and the affected joints.
After interpreting all results we then establish a therapieplan when joint limitations are present and then a individual trainingplan in order to improve or compensate insuficiencies in complex movement patterns.
We then discuss these results with our Golfprofessional who then can detect technical problems and mistakes of the golfswing itself but always keeping our informations in mind whilest doing his swing analysis. All these results will be then be discussed with the player and the Golfprofessional then can established an individual training an technique plan in order to improve or, if necessary, to change the golfswing.
In summery we can state that due to this complex and detailed approach through various professionals in each field and their cooperation we can achieve significantly better movement patterns which finally enables the player to perform an economic, stable and techically correct golfswing.
