Golfers Clinic

The golf swing is a complex sequence of movements created by a series of muscular actions performed in a coordinated pattern.

This path is different for each golfer, but is dictated primarily by the physical qualities of each individual golfer.

Physical limitations, such as poor balance or lack of hip mobility, can lead to swing faults or injury. Swing faults that result from physical limitations can also lead to specific injuries.

UW Health Sports Rehabilitation has created the UW Health Golfers Clinic to help individuals address:

• Swing biomechanics
• Golf-related injuries
• And physical limitations that impact an individual's golf swing

The UW Health Golfers Clinic includes a series of diagnostic physical tests used to evaluate each golfer's physical attributes as they relate to the golf swing. Based on this evaluation, a custom program will be designed to address the physical needs of each individual.

Golf Injury Evaluation Clinic*

Patients who have an injury related to their golf swing can be evaluated for physical limitations that may be leading to their injury and its impact on their swing. This evaluation, performed by a licensed athletic trainer, will cover all aspects of the injury, including swing mechanics and physical deficits.

* A referral from your physician is required to enroll in the Injury Evaluation Golfers Clinic for insurance reimbursement.
