NOTTINGHAM PHYSIO GOLF CLINIC

Golf Physiotherapy in Nottingham

Golf-related pain can affect your swing, confidence and time on the course. Our golf physiotherapy in Nottingham starts with a careful assessment, then builds a plan around your body, your goals and the game you want to return to.

For golfers who want to get back to the game they love and build a body to last.

How can golf physiotherapy help me get back on the course?

Injury assessment

At your first appointment, we discuss your injury history, current symptoms, golfing demands and individual goals. The assessment may include relevant movement and strength checks. We explain what the findings may mean, agree sensible next steps and shape a plan around you rather than a template.

Individual rehabilitation

A progressive programme is shaped around your body and your goals, not a template. Rehabilitation may include advice, movement work and progressive exercise where appropriate. The NHS overview of physiotherapy explains how assessment, exercise and advice can form part of physiotherapy care.

What can the Nottingham Physio Golf Clinic help with?

Golf places different demands on the body. An assessment helps identify which factors matter in your case and what a sensible route back to the course may look like.

Shoulder pain

The shoulder guides the club through a large, fast range of movement. Pain can be related to load, mobility, strength or swing demands; assessment helps identify what is relevant for you.

Elbow pain

Repetitive gripping and impact can irritate the tendons around the elbow. A plan may combine load management with progressive strengthening. See our guide to tennis elbow symptoms and treatment.

Wrist and hand pain

The wrists and hands absorb considerable load at impact. Pain may affect grip, power and confidence through the ball.

Low back pain

The lower back works hard through rotation and force transfer. For persistent or recurring symptoms, read why lower back pain can keep returning. NICE also publishes guidance on low back pain and sciatica.

Hip and groin pain

Hip mobility and strength can influence how you load and rotate through the swing. A tailored plan can address the movements and loads that matter to you.

Knee pain

The knees help control weight transfer and rotation. Pain may affect your stance, balance and confidence during the swing or while walking the course.

Our golf rehabilitation approach

Four stages are used to understand the problem, build a tailored plan and support a confident return to your usual activities. For broader performance-focused support after injury, explore our sports rehabilitation service.

1. Assessment

We take time to understand your injury history, movement, strength and individual goals.

2. Understanding the cause

We look at the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all explanation.

3. Tailored rehabilitation

Your programme progresses around your presentation, the demands of golf and the goals that matter to you.

4. Returning to usual activities

Rehabilitation is reviewed and adapted as you work towards everyday activity, practice and the course.

Golf physiotherapy FAQs

These general answers explain how assessment and rehabilitation may be approached. Your plan will depend on your symptoms, goals and response.

What happens at my first appointment?

We discuss your symptoms, injury history, golfing demands and goals. The assessment may include relevant movement and strength checks. We then explain the findings and agree suitable next steps.

Do I need to stop playing golf during rehabilitation?

It depends on your symptoms and how they respond to golf. Some people may continue with adjusted practice or playing volume, while others may benefit from a temporary reduction. This is decided after assessment.

How long will rehabilitation take?

Timescales vary with the nature and duration of symptoms, your goals and how you respond to rehabilitation. We review progress and adapt the plan rather than promising a fixed recovery date.

Can physiotherapy help if pain only appears during my swing?

An assessment can look at the movements, loads and strength demands that may be relevant when you swing. This helps guide an individual plan, but it does not guarantee a particular outcome.

Ready to get back to golf?

If pain is getting in the way of your game, we can start by discussing your symptoms and goals.
