Specialist Sessions
Back Sessions
Doctor’s Referral
If you have been referred by your doctor under an exercise referral program as part of your overall care package please note that the consultation process will take longer. We will need to understand specifics and identify a detailed course of action through a step-by-step process of discussion and assessment.
Self-Referral
Again, a longer consultation process will allow us to discuss, assess, understand, and build out a fully tailored program for your needs and your objectives.
Functional Movement at Home
Targeted at the those who are missing activities they used to enjoy; playing on the floor with their grandchildren, a game of catch in the garden, or even doing the gardening itself!
This program teaches simple methods to increase strength, muscular endurance and flexibility, building exercise in to everyday activities around the house, and giving you more independence of movement.
Golf Specific
As a Personal Trainer and Exercise Referral Instructor with a
Level 4 specialisation in Back Pain Management (who also suffers from back
pain) I found it interesting to devise a range of exercises that will
help many of my golfing friends in their “battle of the back”. However, as a
golfer of 15 years I found it fun to devise a training program that
would enable me to, quite simply, smash the ball further without injuring
myself. I practiced on myself during lockdown 3.0 and am pleased to say that,
while not pain free, I certainly have a lower experience of pain and I am now
rarely taking the first 2nd shot having added 10-15% in flight distance.
Golf: Stronger Fore Longer
After strengthening your core and building a firm base we’ll
work on the key muscles in the “drive chain” (pectorals, upper serratus,
rhomboids, transverse abdominals, glutes, biceps & triceps and wrists) that
we engage for a strong strike. I can’t guarantee the “full Bryson” effect but
you will improve the strength in all the muscles required to get the ball going
further through the air. The direction, however, is down to you. Complementary
focus on flexibility and the supporting (synergistic) muscles will spread the
loading and help to guard against typical golfing injuries, making you stronger
and keeping you playing longer.
Back in (Golf) Rehab
Doesn’t it seem strange that, as we mature, the aches and pains from the last round seem to last longer until they are our ever-present partner, teeing up with us on the 1st hole. If it’s too late for prevention then perhaps it’s time to take steps to reduce the impact with sessions aimed at freeing up joints, rebalancing muscles and posture, and increasing flexibility.
