Program Overview
Golf exercises, both before and after the golfing game, are vital to optimise golf performance and maintain tissue health. The benefit of taking time at home to reset your tissues lies in the calmness and space it provides, allowing your nervous system to relax.
This relaxation enables your tissues to reset more effectively, preparing them for the upcoming game. The freedom to combine roller work with movement and mindful breathing creates a heightened awareness of what your tissues need.
Feel SOMA’s specific roller techniques, coupled with targeted movement applications, offer many advantages for both preparation and recovery. This potent combination will:
- Optimise the neural response, enhancing communication within the body,
- Reset the movement patterns specific to golf, aligning the body for optimal performance,
- Enhance the fluid response, facilitating the slide and glide required for tissues to function at their best in the game.
This comprehensive approach not only prepares the body for the game but also aids in improved golf performance and recovery, ensuring a continuous cycle of improvement and well-being.
