3D Biomechanical Analysis

3d motion analysis creates an accurate animation of the swing that can be viewed from any angle, as well as exact data on any body segment throughout the swing. It provides a quantitative analysis of swing dynamics, timing, consistency, injury risk and dynamic postural control. From here recommendations can be made to improve golf technique and training programs.

Golf specific exercise drills and flexibility exercises can then be prescribed to the student to improve the swing efficiency.

Biofeedback is also a useful tool for providing real time auditory feedback for the student. A tone is emitted when the student is performing the movement correctly and working through the correct range of motion in a given body segment. The student uses this feedback to enhance the “feel” for the movement and skill learning is accelerated.

Some of the benefits of the 3d motion analysis and biofeedback are:

• increased club head speed• a more efficient swing• reduction in pain associated with playing golf• reduced injury risk• improved ball control

$400 per 2 hour session, sessions will be conducted indoors at the PGACLP
