Laura Lane Pilates Therapy
How can Pilates Therapy help your golf game?
Pilates therapy provides a unique combination of upper body strengthening movements on the "way back" and lower body power, balance and flow on the "way down".
Attention is particularly paid to improving:
-
Foot balance, awareness and strength
-
Hip extension (especially for the follow through)
-
Position of the spine and pelvis in all phases of the swing (awareness of unwanted side bending)
-
Upper body rotation and shoulder mobility
-
Wrist strength
-
Overall balance and flow in the body

How can Somatic Experiencing (SE) help?
Many elements may feed into a golfer's capacity to perform ...
-
Early life experiences - the extent to which the person was highly motivated, excelled at sport, focussed, parental expectations...
-
Beliefs - "I should be able to do this", "I must not let my partner down" ...
-
Triggers - certain phases of the game may be more psychologically difficult than others.
-
Automatic thoughts - anxiety, racing thoughts.
-
Emotions - nervous, over arousal, under arousal.
-
Behaviours - avoidance of using certain strokes or clubs, inconsistent pre shot routines.
-
Physiological responses - jittery, yipping, tension.
Somatic Experiencing works with embodied resourcing and grounding techniques to explore what activation may be occurring in each problem area. To learn more about how SE works click here.
