Golf Pilates
"I can't believe it...I lost 2 shots off my handicap and I can only put it down to Pilates. It is only thing I have done that is different in the last 2 months. My wife is delighted and I am ecstatic!"

I have found over the years that many of my golfing clients are having huge improvements in their game.
Have a look at this great article to understand more of what it is you do each and every time you swing that club...

I have now created a golf specific Pilates programme. I look at your set up, backswing, downswing and impact. Over 6 to 8 sessions you can increase core strength and improve your swing.

Why Pilates?
When creating a Pilates conditioning program for golfers, what’s most important is designing core movements for the individual player’s needs. A Pilates conditioning program that assesses performance, lengthens tight muscles, decreases multijoint tightness and strengthens weaker muscles for power on impact will advance the game, prevent injury and improve general fitness.
Just check out the muscles used in the 1 second it takes to complete the golf swing, the muscles fire in the following pattern for a right-handed golfer (Simpson & Kaspriske 2004b):
- gluteals—left side
- adductors—left side
- rectus abdominis—both sides
- latissimus dorsi—right side
- obliques—left to right side
- quadriceps—right side
- pectorals—right side
- hamstrings—left side
- rotator cuff—right side
