WHAT CAN A 3D ANALYSIS WITH A K-COACH DO FOR MY GOLF GAME?
At Premier Physical Therapy, we utilize advanced technology like K-Motion and K-Coach to provide cutting-edge 3D analysis for golfers requiring rehabilitation. K-Motion uses infrared cameras and reflective markers placed on the client to track joint movements in real time. This allows us to detect even subtle inconsistencies and compensations in the golf swing.
We focus our assessments on common problem areas like the shoulders, hips, and spine. The data from K-Motion generates comprehensive reports mapping out rotational velocities, swing planes, weight transfers, and more. This quantitative feedback helps us pinpoint exactly where mobility or stability issues are hindering performance. It also gives us baseline metrics so we can track progress with rehabilitation.
In addition to identifying swing faults, we also use the K-Coach system to help rebuild proper mechanics. Its training tools provide real-time 3D feedback and instant visual replay for reinforcing technique corrections. Sensors provide resistance and guidance while clients perform different golf motions, enabling us to retrain movement patterns in a very precise manner.
By combining motion analysis from K-Motion with the motor learning tools of K-Coach, we alter dysfunctional swing habits developed over years of play. We re-establish strength, flexibility, sequencing, and control to restore fluidity and power to the golf swing. Our golf rehab solutions use the latest technology to help clients swing pain-free while lowering stroke counts on the course.
WHAT EFFECT CAN DRY NEEDLING AND MANUAL THERAPY HAVE ON GOLF REHAB?
Dry needling uses thin filament needles to cause micro-injuries that accelerate healing. The needle tip momentarily injuries contracted bands of muscle and connective tissue to initiate inflammatory pathways. This reduces spasm and oxygen deprivation. Manual techniques concurrently manipulate the layers of tissue surrounding these trigger points. Methods like instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization utilize specialized tools to assist the therapist’s hands in releasing adhered fascia, scar tissue, and fat layers crammed against each other.
Some of the therapies used to accomplish the goal of regaining movement and reducing pain, swelling and stiffness may include one or more of the following:
- Manual therapy
- Soft tissue and/or joint mobilization
- Muscle energy
- Gait and balance training
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) – electrical muscle &
- nerve stimulation
- Therapeutic exercise and functional strength training
- Ultrasound
- Functional re-education
- Rehabilitative exercises to help increase strength, endurance, motion, balance and coordination
What is TPI?
TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) is the world’s leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. For over twenty years, TPI has gathered the world’s largest technical database of the game’s top Tour professionals as well as every-day golfers. TPI collects 3D motion capture, force, pressure, launch monitor, strength, power, and movement data on every player that visits the TPI campus. Using this data, TPI discovered how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible. Conversely, TPI determined how physical limitations in a player’s body can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury. This relationship is what TPI calls The Body-Swing Connection and is the foundation of all professional Certification courses offered by TPI.
TPI’s Mission
TPI’s mission is to educate golfers and industry professionals on the Body-Swing Connection through its one of a kind TPI Certified educational program.
TPI’s Philosophy
TPI believes that golfers should match their swing style to their movement capabilities. The philosophy is simple:
There are an infinite number of ways to swing a golf club. However, there is one most-efficient way for each player to swing a club and it is based on what they can physically do.
TPI’s Assessment Screen
If you don’t assess, it’s just a guess.To achieve an efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened. A proper screen involves an assessment of swing mechanics, biomechanics, physical fitness, movement quality, current health, and injury history.The TPI movement screen is a simple test to quickly evaluate a player’s physical capabilities. The results of that assessment are used to determine how technical elements of the player’s swing could be related to what their body can or cannot do. Once this screen is finished, the results are used to create a plan unique for that golfer. The plan may include fitness training, physical therapy and treatment, coaching of swing mechanics and biomechanics, nutrition, mental strategy or all of the above.
