FOUNDATION LEVEL Upper Body Exercises

Flexibility in the thoracic spine is crucial. It enables you to complete a full shoulder turn back and through and trying to compensate by hyper-extending your shoulders and lower back dramatically increases your risk of injury. Our programme will help you get more width, achieve a full shoulder turn, position the shaft close to parallel ‘at the top’ and swing through to a full, balanced finish.

The golf swing requires an extreme range of shoulder motion. All golfers will benefit from our programmes, because increasing flexibility in the shoulders improves the efficiency of the transfer of energy out to your arms, hands and club. Strengthening the muscles that stabilize the shoulders will provide you with a stable base from which your arms can act as effective levers.

Your arms and wrists need sufficient strength to control the club head and keep your swing on plane and significant flexibility to retain your power accumulators well into the downswing. Also you need a combination of strength and mobility for a powerful release of the club through impact.

Our comprehensive neck programme takes the neck through its full range of articulation and gives it a thorough workout. Performed regularly it will improve your flexibility and ensure that you complete your shoulder turn, back and through, while maintaining good eye contact with the ball.
