Many golf pros from Tiger Woods to Geoff Ogilvy know that the basis of a good injury-free golf swing stems from hip flexibility, timing and excellent balance. Golf not only requires a steady tempo but also controlled weight shifting from foot to foot at the precise time and cadence. Tempo and balance are dearly entwined in a successful golf swing. The golfer must have the ability to maintain his stability over the ball as he moves thorough a dynamic motion of shifting his weight. If those components of stability and mobility are not coordinated in a smooth tempo, then there is a high risk of an uneven swing tempo, which makes it more difficult to square up the club face at impact. By practicing basic balance exercises before stepping on to the greens, the golfer can improve his balance and coordinate his equilibrium with swing tempo.

Basic Balance Exercises For A Better Golf Swing

Practicing balance exercises is the first step to building a successful golf swing. The game of golf requires a combination of many pieces of the puzzle coming together all at the same time. The basic building block is to start with good balance. Within the realm of equilibrium, a competent golf swing requires both stability and mobility to work together. In the Physical Therapy clinic, I teach my patients steadiness exercises that involve stability, mobility and then combining stability and mobility together during higher level activities. I instruct how to use the center balance point in their body to maintain steadiness. I elaborate on how to control their weight shifting during movement patterns. Additionally, I take them through various routines that combine simultaneous stability and mobility components. By practicing these balance routines on a daily basis, they are able to enhance their balance abilities for their individual needs, whether that is to be safe and keep from falling or whether that is to maximize their performance in sporting events. Now, with the Exercise For Balance DVD you can follow along with a balance exercise routine developed by an experienced Physical Therapist to prepare you for your next golf outing or to keep you from falling at home.
