The essence of the program is the application of balanced-based exercise, which improves the stability of the body. Improved stability is a fundamental component to spinal fitness and equally as important in golf performance. The program will take a golfer through a multitude of balance exercise progressions with specific golf applications. The back pain sufferers will be able to use the exercises to improve their spinal stability and as such, enjoy their golf game to a greater extent. Those not suffering from spinal pain will be able to use the exercise guide to improve their balance, stance, base of support, and strength all of which contribute to a more effective golf swing.
Balance is likely the most essential and overlooked component of athletic skill.
Moreover, even when it is recognized as important, it is rarely trained to any specific extent. Of fundamental importance is the appreciation that balance can be trained and improved at any age. Consequently, the applications of the Swing Doctor Golf Program are not limited to spinal problems and golf performance. The skills learned will help to improve athletic performance in general, and on a clinical level for seniors, improve motor and balance function that will aid in quality of life and decrease the potential for falls. The program is very innovative.
