Golf For Life

In recent years, the sport of golf has evolved in many ways and golfers have turned towards improving their fitness level to help improve their performance. The sport of golf requires an optimal balance of flexibility, strength, power and skill. Appropriately combining these characteristics can create a better golfer who may enjoy the game of a lifetime, for a lifetime.



MORE Physical Therapy, Inc.’s, Golf for Life Program is designed to help golfers increase awareness of their physical limitations and help them to overcome these restrictions in order to prevent injury and to further enhance their game. The program emphasizes the individual golfer’s characteristics and teaches specific exercises to improve all facets of their game.


The Golf for Life Program consists of 6 visits over a 3 month period. The evidence is clear that improved physical fitness as well as increased flexibility, strength and power yields better swing results!
