Golf season is finally upon us in Rochester, NY, and as players start returning to the course, it is essential to ensure that their bodies are prepared for the demands of the game. Achieving an efficient and pain-free swing requires more than just practice; it starts with a proper movement assessment.

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we believe that if you do not assess, it is just a guess when it comes to optimizing movement, preventing injuries, and improving performance. A golf movement screening allows us to evaluate key areas of mobility, stability, and biomechanics to identify limitations that may be affecting your swing.

Why is a Golf Screening Important?

A proper golf screening goes beyond just looking at swing mechanics. It includes an in-depth assessment of:

• Personal Biomechanics – How your body moves and functions during the golf swing.

• Physical Fitness – Strength, endurance, and flexibility necessary for optimal performance.

• Movement Quality – Posture, mobility, and stability throughout the kinetic chain.

• Current Health – Any underlying issues that may contribute to discomfort or pain.

• Previous Injury History – Identifying areas that may be prone to re-injury or compensation patterns.

By addressing these factors, golfers can significantly reduce the risk of injuries such as low back pain, shoulder strain, or hip imbalances. A well-structured movement screen provides a roadmap for corrective strategies that enhance both performance and longevity in the game.

Common Mobility Issues That Affect the Golf Swing

Many golfers experience movement restrictions that negatively impact their swing mechanics. Some of the most common issues include:

• Limited Hip Mobility – Restricts rotational power and leads to compensations in the lower back and knees.

• Poor Thoracic Spine Rotation – Reduces backswing efficiency and limits clubhead speed.

• Core Instability – Leads to excessive strain on the lower back and loss of balance during the swing.

• Restricted Shoulder Mobility – Affects follow-through and contributes to discomfort over time.

Through comprehensive screenings, we can identify these weaknesses and implement corrective exercises, chiropractic care, and SoftWave therapy to improve movement efficiency.

Preparing for the Season: Injury Prevention and Performance Optimization

Before jumping back into a full golf schedule, it is crucial to address any existing movement limitations. A screening ensures that your body is functioning at its best before the season starts, reducing the likelihood of pain and discomfort down the road.
