If your lower back hurts during or after a round of golf, the problem may not be your back alone.

Limited mobility, poor rotation, reduced stability, or inefficient movement patterns can all place extra stress on your spine throughout your swing.

Our Golf Movement Analysis is designed to identify these movement patterns so you can better understand what’s contributing to your pain and improve how you move on the course.

During your assessment, we evaluate:
✔️ Mobility
✔️ Rotation
✔️ Stability
✔️ Movement Efficiency

Understanding how your body moves is the first step toward reducing pain, improving your swing, and staying on the course longer.

The Nordic Hamstring Exercise has become one of the most researched exercises for improving hamstring strength and reducing the risk of hamstring injuries. But does the evidence actually support its popularity?

According to a 2024 umbrella review that analyzed 10 systematic reviews, 125 studies, and more than 17,000 participants, the answer is yes.

The research found that the Nordic Hamstring Exercise can:
✔ Increase eccentric hamstring strength
✔ Improve sprint performance
✔ Improve hamstring muscle architecture
✔ Reduce hamstring injuries by up to 51% when incorporated into a structured training program

Like any exercise, it’s not a magic fix. The best results come from progressive programming that’s appropriate for your goals, sport, and current fitness level.

Returning to sport after an injury takes more than time.

Before this track athlete gets back to sprinting, Dr. Ashleigh uses VALD ForceDecks and Dynamo technology to objectively measure:

✔ Force production
✔ Deceleration ability
✔ Side-to-side strength differences
✔ Performance deficits that could increase injury risk

These objective measurements help determine if an athlete is truly ready to return to high-speed sprinting with confidence.

Don’t leave your comeback to guesswork.
