Golf Strengthening and Flexibility

We can help you drop strokes off your handicap and hit the ball longer and straighter! The secret is in your muscles no matter what your age or handicap is.

With recent rulings that limit technological advancement in golf equipment we have seen driving distance level out. The Tour Pros are now looking to maximize performance by improving their physical strength and fitness levels. Today, Tour Professional Golfers are training more like track and field athletes than the golfers of old who spent limitless hours at the driving range. There is more to this than meets the eye. In recent years the driving distance of Tour Pros leveled out, according to statistics kept by www.pgatour.com/stats from 1980 to date, the average driving distance of Tour Pros has been increasing steadily over the years until now.
PWC specializes in helping golfers achieve their physical best to get the most out of their equipment. It's the club that hits the ball but it's the golfer that swings the club. Without a golfer, the club and ball are useless. Golf is a game that requires consistency of movement and physical endurance. Physical endurance facilitates consistency even after walking 4 miles on a 86ºF day. You need to be performing at your very best with every shot as the competition is fiercely competitive and a 2% error in a round can mean the difference between playing for money and packing your bags. Club golfers more commonly look to reduce their inconsistencies or swing flaws that are generally due to poor flexibility, endurance and or strength. PWC measures the "Golf Fitness" of all golfers, from Tour Pros to Competition Amateurs to Club Golfers to the Weekend Warrior. If it is good enough for a Tour Pro then it should be good enough for a Weekend Warrior.

Torso Rotation & Lumbar Strength and Flexibility
Torso rotation & low back strength and flexibility is a very important component of your golf swing. Our Torso Rotation and Lumbar Equipment isolates these parameters. Our equipment can measure your strength and flexibility. These measurements are essential as a benchmark of progression. It shows improvement in the athlete's performance when they are rehabilitating after injury or showing improvement when the athlete is well and is looking to gain condition in torso & lumbar flexibility and strength.

A study reported in Fitness Management (December 1997), shows the improvement recreational golfers can expect from both MedX flexibility exercises and MedX-style circuit strength training.
