Golf Bodywork Program:

is the only program that exist because it was created by me, an avid golfer and athlete who is well educated and experienced Professional Massage Therapist. There are no other programs like it because the intensive bodywork is designed to improve your body's ability to move without pain. It was designed to help golfers with any type of muscular pain or discomfort, range of motion problems that effect your swing. The golf bodywork program was developed especially for the golfer to improve your body because it is the most important piece of equipment you have, not your clubs! It is your body's capability to swing the club and contact the ball! If your body is in muscular pain, stiffness or soreness-it won't function well and it could result in serious injuries. Back injuries are not easy to live with so think about first improving your body!

My program releases Muscular Pain and Dysfunction with Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy and prevents golf injuries with a stretch and strengthening program that works!
