Golf Swing Sonoma

Swing Enhancement Program

@ 5th Street Spine

Santa Rosa, CA

Golfers, Get your Competitive Edge from the Inside Out.

Santa Rosa's 5th Street Spine treats patients with back pain, herniated discs, and sciatica. Now, their new program, Golf Swing Sonoma is improving golfers with the accuracy, speed, and the distance of their golf swing.

Golfers, here's what you get:

  • Analysis of physical condition of the golfer:
    • Posture analysis. Check for functional imbalance causing performance restricting muscle movement and impending injury.
    • Neurological examination. Check for left and right brain coordination.
    • Orthopedic physical examination. Identify problem areas in the ankles, knees, hips, spine, shoulders, elbows, and wrists.
    • Dynamic motion surface electromyography: checking muscles for imbalance through the spine's full range of motion.
  • Consistent, methodical neuromuscular reconditioning:
    • Retrain spinal muscles, shoulders, and arms to provide exacting feedback and explosive force through the swing.
    • Custom prescribed home exercise protocols for ongoing conditioning after the in-office protocols are complete.
    • Specific chiropractic analysis to improve spinal function and improve flexibility. Flexibility if key for club head speed.

“Conventional conditioning typically neglects strengthening the postural muscles, but training these muscles is necessary to keep imbalances from occurring. Exercises for postural muscles are performed with less resistance and more repetitions than exercises for the major muscle groups.”~~ Shark.com

“Stability for golf includes the complex interaction of many body systems including the connective tissue, musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems.  All these systems act simultaneously at a particular joint to stabilize it.  The body and brain must coordinate and activate these systems to minimize stress and maintains integrity of the joints during movement.  The golf swing requires the body to find stability prior to the movement, or statically and then during the movement, or dynamically”~~ mytpi.com

Imagine your swing with a longer range of motion, more power coil in your back-swing, and a faster club head speed. Picture your drives being more accurate, and longer from the tee box. Imagine working the course with improved strength and stamina. Get through your complete game with less pain.

About Us

Dr. Brian Thalhamer and Dr. Todd Lloyd were working together on a patient who was going through their spinal decompression protocol for low back pain. They began to create a golf specific program so she wouldn't reinjure herself. When she returned to the game, her scores began to improve. The doctors realized that when they were working with the patient on increasing her flexibility and her coordination, that her game would improve. With that discovery, they reproduced their success multiple times.

It is with this discovery that they contacted Spine Force to see if they had any other clients who have noted success with golfers and the Spine Force machine. It turns out that one of the world's leading golf coaches used the spine force as well as "David Leadbetter" and a French company Biomecaswing. The manufacturer provided us with even more specific protocols which we have implemented.

The Doctors at 5th Street Spine, Wellness Chiropractic have a combined experience of more than 25 years in the field of musculoskeletal performance and treatment.
