Golf Analysis
About Golf Analysis
Golf requires mobility, power, and precise coordination but repetitive swings also place stress on the body. Our Golf Analysis blends sports medicine expertise with the biomechanics of the swing. Ideal for golfers at any skill level, this one-hour analysis combines functional testing, corrective exercise, and training strategies to maximize your performance.
Using the Functional Golf System, powered by the Gray Institute, we identify limitations and create a golf-specific training plan to:
- Reduce pain and prevent injury
- Improve swing efficiency
- Increase consistency and power
- Lower your score and boost confidence on the course
Whether you're a recreational golfer looking to play without pain or a competitive golfer seeking greater consistency and distance, our Golf Analysis provides personalized insights to help improve your swing and maximize your performance. Every assessment is tailored to your body, your swing, and your goals.

Ice After an Injury? From RICE to PEACE and LOVE
For years, the go-to advice for a new injury was to grab a bag of frozen peas and follow the R.I.C.E. method—Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate. The belief was that this would reduce inflammation, ease pain, and speed up recovery. But new research, including findings as recent as 2025, suggests it’s time to rethink that approach.
