What About Golf Fitness?

Become the golfer you always knew you could be!  Working on the mechanics of the swing is only one piece of the puzzle. Using Titleist Performance Institute’s golf fitness program, you can bring your game to a new level through functional and focused golf fitness workouts designed to meet your individual needs. Titleist has collected and analyzed golf swing data on 53,000 amateurs and professional golfers over the past 11 years.  We determine your specific fitness challenges and limitations through Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) designed physical assessment then work from there to create a program to improve and gain function and fitness. These sessions will:

  • Increase your mobility, stability, flexibility and strength
  • Develop more consistency in your swing
  • Optimize your power and speed through the ball
  • Improve your posture, coordination and balance
  • Help you play better, play longer, play more pain free

With the help of your golf professional, we will work hand in hand to help you reach all your fitness and golf goals. Whether it is to break 100, make par, get more yardage off the tee, reduce your back pain or have the endurance and consistency through the round, this program will help to make it possible.


 

Factors like strength, flexibility, balance, endurance, nutrition, stability, power, vision and posture all influence the body's mechanics.

Utilizing our physical screening process, we measure your ability to generate and transfer speed and determine the most efficient energy transfer throughout your body. We will isolate any physical limitations, correlate these findings to your swing technique and prescribe a custom-conditioning program.

We can then match your swing technique with your physical attributes to help you build a more repeatable and efficient golf swing.


NEW!!  Whole Body Vibration(WBV)

What is it?

On a WBV machine, the platform you stand on moves very rapidly. This controlled motion is transferred up through your body.  All of your body tissues are forced to react to the stimulus of the vibrating platform.  Blood flow increases considerably and more oxygen gets circulated throughout your body.  Lymphatic drainage improves which aids in detoxification and increased bone mineral density.

The way you position your body on the vibrating platform determines what tissues are affected.  You have complete control over the body part you want to target and how challenging the workout is.

The History:

The origins of Whole Body Vibration technology can be traced back to the Swedish gymnast, physician, and inventor Gustav Zander (1835-1920) and Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (1852-1943).

The Germans picked up on the health and wellness benefits that vibration technology offered in the 1960’s by developing an exercise technique called rhythmic neuromuscular stimulation.

Then the Russians moved vibration technology forward for good in the 1960’s. The space race between the Russians from Eastern Europe and the United States from the west fueled research and development of all kinds of new products. The Soviets quickly realized that being exposed to zero gravity conditions in outer space caused severe deterioration of bone mineral density and muscle tissue. The concept of humans living with the constant force of Earth’s gravity is where the theory behind WBV originated.

The Russian space program used Whole Body Vibration as a way to simulate weight bearing loads for their cosmonauts while training and rehabbing before, during, and after trips in outer space.

Introducing WBV in zero gravity conditions is something that worked to simulate the forces of gravity when there isn’t any. Cosmonauts (and now NASA) used WBV machines to maintain bone mineral density and muscle strength. Instead of being too weak to walk upon returning from orbit, the Russian cosmonauts were returning from space in almost the same condition as when they left.

Ever wonder why the Russians were so dominant in the Olympics during the 1980’s. You guessed it...their athletes were using WBV regularly in training and rehabilitation programs.

German Universities continued their own research on the effects of WBV. Many studies were done on a variety of effects on the body, such as WBV and Osteoporosis, developing muscle mass, improving balance and circulation, rehabilitation for injuries, weight loss, and the like.

The Benefits:

There are numerous benefits of WBV training as evidenced by its acceptance in major medical, rehabilitation and therapeutic centers across the country. 

  • WBV works and tones your muscles more efficiently than conventional exercises
  • WBV increases your lymphatic drainage and the release of endorphins
  • WBV trains your equilibrium sense for improved balance and coordination
  • WBV enhances your blood flow and oxygenation
  • WBV improves bone mineral density
  • WBV lowers your stress hormone Cortisol

The health benefits are multifold and results can be achieved easily no matter which type of WBV technology you use. WBV can enhance your general well being and quality of life regardless of age, current exercise habits, or physical condition.  WBV training is not difficult, but it can be challenging – it can be as simple or as hard as you make it.

Practical experience indicates that there are a number of disorders where it is beneficial to integrate Whole Body Vibration training into ones treatment.

The Research:

WBV is backed by over 40 years of scientific research.  Athletes, astronauts, and celebrities have been using WBV for years.  The research is proven and sound.  We know that WBV can do wonders for strength, flexibility, balance, energy levels, and overall well-being.  If you focus on making a small change in your nutrition, rest, and cardiovascular exercise while using WBV you will feel and see significant gains in your health and wellness.

There are literally hundreds of research studies that have been published concerning WBV.  Download the collection of studies that's focused on what you're most interested in.
