THE
BODY BALANCE FOR PERFORMANCE®
PROGRAM
We look at the golf swing from a unique angle: The golfer’s body. Based on the idea that any body issue will contribute to a swing flaw, Body Balance focuses on how a golfer’s balance, flexibility, strength and endurance contribute to or limit accurate and consistent performance.
There is sound scientific research behind the development of the Body Balance program. In the 1980’s, scientists measured muscle activity during the golf swing. The research identified which muscles were most involved in the swing, how they worked together and why injuries sometimes occurred.
The first Director of Physical Therapy for the PGA Tour and founder of Body Balance, assisted with the clinical research. He evaluated how proper physical conditioning improved performance and minimized injuries among the world’s elite golfers. Using this research, a golf-specific, fitness training and therapeutic treatment program — Body Balance for Performance® — was developed.
The Body Balance program includes:
Through balance, strength and flexibility testing, a Body Balance therapist evaluates your physical condition and compares it to what is required to perform the golf swing. The result of this testing is then compared to what is considered ideal.
A computerized swing analysis demonstrates how your body affects your swing. You will see for yourself how your body issues contribute to your swing flaws. A Body Balance therapist designs a customized training program to resolve your body issues based on your timetable and performance goals.
3R Approach to Better Golf: Release, Reeducate, Rebuild
The Body Balance 3R Training Approach will be carried out by a certified Body Balance therapist combining hands-on body work and proven customized golf-specific exercises to address the body issues identified during the performance evaluation. The goal is to work through the Release, Reeducate and Rebuild phases of training to allow your body to make consistent and safe movements swing after swing.
Home Training Sessions
Your therapist will create a home program to reinforce what you have learned during your training sessions. This is an integral part of the Body Balance for Performance program that keeps you on track for meeting your goals.
Body Balance for Performance is the “missing ingredient.” Get ready to lose strokes and gain yards.
I am considering getting a gift certificate for this program for my father for Christmas. He is 67 and has lost flexibility in his swing,. My family would all like to see him maximize his ability to continue playing golf for many years in the future. I would like to know if a gift certificate is something that might be possible to get him going with this program. Thanks!
