Program Description
This 4-week foundation program is designed for golf athletes who require improved thoracic rotation, hip internal/external rotation, tibio-femoral rotational freedom, and shoulder external rotation to support efficient golf swing mechanics. Reset circuits target tissue extensibility limitations across the quadriceps, hamstrings and calves that influence tibial rotation, along with thoracic mobility and scapulothoracic mechanics. Movement preparation integrates these mobility gains into rotational control patterns used in golf. Strength training emphasizes unilateral lower body strength, pillar stability, and rotational force transfer from ground to trunk. Conditioning focuses on aerobic locomotion capacity through sled pushing, carries and incline walking to support the physical demands of long rounds and varied terrain.
