Pilates and Golf
Pilates teachers understand the remarkable benefits golfers can gain from engaging in twice-weekly private Pilates sessions. In 1998, the first Golf & Pilates Workshop was initiated with the expertise of Mike Wright and Alex Garcia, distinguished Pilates instructors and proficient golfers.
2005 marked the publication of "Golf & Pilates," a guide for Pilates instructors to effectively assist golfers, regardless of their own experience with the sport. Pilates instructors, with their commendable physical prowess, often surprise professionals with their innate golfing talent, even as beginners.
Now, in 2023, we are thrilled to introduce a revolutionary Golf Program, with an initial focus on Thoracic Rotation. The necessity for this focus arises from the fundamental requirement of a minimum 46-degree thoracic rotation to execute a proper golf swing. The modern lifestyle, dominated by screen time, has unfortunately hindered lateral bending and rotation, consequently affecting the golf swing. While technology assists in daily tasks, it offers no aid in enhancing the backswing.
Our approach involves a meticulous Tye4® sequence, designed to augment thoracic rotation. Pro golfers have tested this sequence, showcasing an impressive increase from high 50s to 60s in their rotation range post a five-minute Tye4® session.
We recognize that attracting golf enthusiasts to Pilates is a challenge, given their singular focus on the game. Yet, we believe the key to garnering their interest lies in the effective improvement of their Thoracic Rotation, a critical aspect in golf. Our specially recommended app for assessing thoracic rotation has proven to be an immediate hit among golfers.
Stay tuned for the unveiling of our Assessment and Tye4® program, crafted to help Pilates and fitness instructors draw golf aficionados to their studios. We are excited to offer this program through our New York office and online via Zoom. Get ready to revolutionize golf training with enhanced thoracic mobility and a transformative Tye4® sequence.
