Injuries not only stop you playing golf, socialising with your friends on the course but can also affect your swing when you return from injury.
The way we swing the club is dependent on how our bodies move. Any muscle imbalance or tightness can alter how you swing a club.
Injuries can lead to changing how we move our body (or lead to fear to move it), therefore this leads to an altered swing pattern.
With our golf analysis, the first thing we do is understand why you have your pain and work to correct that, allowing you to return to a pain-free life. Following that we analyse your movement to fully understand how you move, how these movements could have led to your injury and also how they affect your swing. We work with you to correct these resulting in you being better than before.

Medical History
Please remember to inform us of any prior or ongoing medical problems that you have even if you think they seem unrelated to the pain you are seeking treatment for.
our aim here at summit is to keep our clients relaxed, and for them to enjoy their time with us. out staff are friendly and more than happy to answer any questions you may have on your condition and treatment.
Each new client/condition will have an initial consultation where one of our skilled clinicians will take a detailed and confidential history and physical assessment. Then, using Summit’s education board, we will explain why the condition has occurred, allowing you to properly understand the cause of your pain/problem.
From here a relevant, evidence-based and up-to-date treatment plan can be put into action.
You will be given a home exercise programme (HEP) at the end of the session, in conjunction with your treatment. Not only will this maximise the benefits of the treatment and, it will allow you to self-manage your symptoms where possible.
Summit also promotes positive lifestyle behaviours by teaching individuals to self-manage their condition, which improves confidence, sense of wellbeing and quality of life.
With these new acquired skills, we can give you a long-term solution so you can prevent reoccurrence of your condition and return to activity with confidence.
Summit physiotherapy is committed to its clients and expects commitment from them in return. All of our clients must realise that their rehabilitation and recovery requires a team effort.
Above all, we are here to help you get better and give you the confidence to embrace the treatment. A happy client means a quicker recovery, and that’s what we provide here at Summit.
