What Are Some Common Types Of Golf Injuries?

At Change The Game Performance Therapy, we can help you find relief for any injury you may be experiencing. Some common types of sports injuries include:

GOLFER'S ELBOW. This condition is used to describe an overuse golf injury that causes muscle inflammation inside the elbow. This injury runs from the bony point of your elbow and can stretch down your forearm, making it difficult to extend or lift your arm. Golfer’s elbow can make it difficult to perform your sport, especially with swinging motions.
FlEXOR TENDINITIS. This is an overuse injury that causes swelling in the tendons that control your hand movement, making it difficult to bend your fingers and move your hand or elbow. Flexor tendinitis is typically associated with golf, as it is a sport that requires constant swinging.
ROTATOR CUFF INJURY . Rotator cuff injury can occur from either acute or overuse causes. For example, partaking in repetitive swinging motions, such as those associated with golf, can all result in rotator cuff injury. This occurs when the muscles or tendons that surround the shoulder joint become overused.

What People Say About Change the Game Performance

My wife and I both worked with Ryan and we both agreed that it was a great experience. I had an ankle issue that was resolved in only a few sessions and from the exercises Ryan gave me for the Physical Therapy I also have a great workout routine that will help to strengthen my lower body for jogging. I would highly recommend Change the Game for any PT needs.

I started going to Change the Game (Ryan) in March 2018 after I developed an issue in my right shoulder. I had previous issues with my left shoulder that were lingering, but honestly I just "wrote them off." Ryan worked with me diligently and within two sessions my nagging issues in my left shoulder were GONE. He listened intently and continued to work with me and I did all my "homework" and now my right shoulder is fully functioning too! I have never taken recovery and mobility so seriously since I started sessions at Change the Game and it has showed in my performance at the gym- I have really excelled in my upper body strength! Finding Change the Game and Ryan has been a life changer!

I visited Change The Game Performance Therapy with achilles tendonitis issues in my left foot and lingering plantar fasciitis in my right foot. Within several weeks under the treatment of Dr. Ryan Godfrey I was back to running and training for my first Half Marathon! Dr. Ryan’s treatment plan included dry needling, PT exercises, and strength training. I am currently running faster with more endurance and completely compression sock free!!!
