PILATES FOR GOLFERS

PILATES FOR GOLFERS:

"Whether twisting the body on a drive, squatting down to measure a putt or leaning over to pick up a ball, golfers constantly torquing their bodies. Golf also requires repetitive motion and movements. As a result some muscles become overused and others weaken, causing imbalances.

For a golfer, muscle imbalances can affect the legs, hips, arms, shoulders, and the lower back. Your drives may be shorter and less accurate, stamina may decrease, and the potential for debilitating strains and injuries become much higher.

Pilates keeps the body in balance and improves performance. Pilates is based on movement from the center of the body as are most shots in golf. It strengthens the core while it improves rotation, range of motion, and stability. It is also a full body exercise that is easy on the joints. The end result is a flexible, symmetrically muscled body that is strengthened from the inside out." -Balanced Body
