Golf Performance Massage by Spa Sydell
Anyone who plays golf strives to make efficient, fluid swings, but very few are able to do it. Some have improperly fit golf clubs, while others have poor technique-both of which hamper swing dynamics. However, the most common road block I see with players struggling to get better lies in the ability of their bodies to move freely without making compensations. A regular stretching routine is one vital component to maintaining a healthy golf body and optimum range of motion.
In order to stretch effectively, you must be able to isolate the area to be stretched as well as hold the position long enough. Often it is difficult to do this on your own. An excellent way to ensure your body is ready for play is through the Golf Performance Massage – a product by Spa Sydell offered exclusively to Canongate members. In a 60-minute session you experience a combination of massage techniques integrated with active stretching of body parts that are vital to producing good golf swings. This unique combination releases the tension in your body, allowing the stretch to be much more effective. Having personally experienced this, I can attest to the results – my range of motion improved dramatically after just one session. That in turn equated to another six yards off the tee!
Spa Sydell, a Canongate Access Advantage partner, has locations all over metro-Atlanta. Call them to set up your Golf Performance Massage today – it is one of the easiest things you can do to improve your golf game…and your health!
Play Well!
