Improve your golf with Pilates

If you’re looking to improve your golf, then Pilates may be the main driver. Pilates focuses on spinal flexibility, advanced core strength and the bodies stability making it an attractive match for developing your swing.

We listed some of its most attractive benefit below;

Improves Balance and Stability

Body balance and stability creates a good foundation for golfers to execute an effective swing with power behind it. The success behind your swing lies in the control over overall range of motion and the coordinated rotation of the body, predominantly, the shoulders and the hips. This is not possible without balance and stability from the pelvis.

Advanced Core Strength

Golf is centred around rotation of the body and driving power from the ground, through your core to the club and the ball. With a stronger core comes increased power and, therefore a more powerful, controlled swing. Not only that, a strong core, impacts so many other factors like improving your posture and lessening the pressure on your back and neck which often causes acute back pain.

Increased Flexibility

Flexibility is one of, if not, the most important factor in becoming a successful golfer. The ability to get a good rotation between the shoulder and hip is the difference between executing a compact, powerful swing or not. Flexibility enables golfers to reach a full range of motion which in turn allows you to reach maximum potential strength and distance.
