Improve Your Golf Swing and Driving
Distance.
The golf swing is arguably one of the most difficult
athletic actions to perform. The golf swing requires you to draw the golf club
through a large range of motion. In order to perform the golf swing
correctly, your muscles must be flexible. The most important component in a
golf fitness program that leads to improved golf performance and decreased
chance of injury is flexibility. An inflexible body in which muscles are “tight”
creates restrictions in movement. Restrictions in movement in relation to
the golf swing will undoubtedly result in limitations pertaining to a golf
swing. This limitation will impede you from creating a full shoulder turn and
balanced finish position. This causes compensations in the mechanics of the
golf swing. Stretch Zone’s golf-specific assisted stretching will enable you to
reach your full potential as a golf athlete and decrease physical strain to
your body. The Stretch Zone® Method is a revolutionary system of
practitioner-assisted stretching that will have you develop greater body
awareness, greater fluid movement patterns, and generates more power through a
symmetrical use of muscle groups that are not affected by habitual compensatory
muscle shift. With a balanced system, you will reach your true maximal
potential.
The Stretch Zone® golf program can provide the
following benefits:
• Increased range of motion in the
golf swing
• Added control and hence, power
• A relaxed mental state (crucial
in the game of golf)
• Reduced chances for injuries
• Enhanced overall performance and
physical conditioning
The Stretch Zone® Method is based on the fact that
the limiting factor in achieving a full range of motion is not the length or elasticity
of muscles, but control of the nervous system via the stretch reflex. The
SZM® rests on the notion that manipulating our muscle’s nervous energy is the
key to unlocking our body’s functional flexibility. There are basically 22
muscles involved in the forward golf swing. With precise stabilization,
control, and comfort; a certified Stretch Zone® Practitioner systematically
positions, stabilizes, isolates and carefully assists each rhythmical stretch
pertaining to these golf muscles. This method all takes place on a massage
table equipped with a patent pending strapping system of adjustable belts,
pads, and straps allowing for the extension of these muscles further than the
central nervous system would normally permit.
The proper
conditioning of these muscles will increase your club head speed and give you
better control. Driving Distance in golf comes from the speed of the club head
and making solid contact with the ball. The club head speed comes from the
flexibility of your body when the muscles are relaxed. When the muscles are
tightened, the club head will be slowed down. This tension will also interfere
with the rotation of the club and the path of the swing. Using less effort will
produce more club head speed, power, and distance. To book your stretch call
