Welcome to the July Motus Minute where you will find the latest news, views, and announcements happening at Motus Rx Physical Therapy. For July were talking golf consistency, golf repeatability, nutrition, and July events happening!
Those are the three major steps on how to physically improve for golf. So now we have a better understanding of what “golf fitness†really is all about if you are going about it correctly. It’s not blindly training on a treadmill, it’s not blindly pounding balls at the range, it is identification: figuring out where you are at and where you want to go through the evaluation process that we have. Mobility, strength, power: physical adjustments and changes. When we are talking about our screening process, those are the three things that we are going to be looking at to physically improve. Re-integration: reintegration back into your sport. This includes practice with intent, finding someone that you like and trust, and continual objective measurement.

We just completed our weekend talking to, educating, and “stealing” data from many of the Fox Valley’s amateur golfers. We were looking for interesting information we could use on pain, and I think it’s safe to say we got some interesting answers.
Here is a simple hint on how to really get what you want in 2018.
Elbow pain with golf is common. So common that there is something actually called “golfer’s elbow.” However, with further investigation and understanding swing dynamics, we will start to realize that many painful elbow situations with golf are really coming from something else in the swing. Read on to find out what that something else is AND how it can help you add distance while you get out of pain.
