What PREP Golf can do for you
- Your goals and history. At the first session we take a detailed history to establish your performance goals and any limitations.
- Your swing, broken down. We break down your golf swing to see what physical limitations your body might have.
- Your movement capacity. As physiotherapists, we are ideally placed to assess your individual movement capacity.
- Your tailored programme. We develop an individually tailored exercise programme to help you achieve your golfing goals.
“Golf is one of the most technically demanding, complex and high-precision sports. Very few golf swings are the same – we help you understand how your body moves, so you can find your natural swing.”

Pilates for Golfers
Recent research has found that the core muscles around your trunk play an important role in creating a powerful golf swing. Pilates helps you understand how your body moves and improves selective control – so you can efficiently transfer energy from the lower body up to the arms and into the club head. This ‘bottom-up phenomenon’ is what generates high club head speed.

Golf performance FAQs
Do I need to be a good golfer?
No. PREP Golf is for golfers of all levels – whether you’re working through an injury, returning to the game, or chasing a lower score.
I have an injury. Can you still help?
Yes. If an underlying injury is limiting your golf, we assess and treat it as part of your programme, drawing on our physiotherapy service.
What happens at the first session?
We take a detailed history to establish your goals and limitations, break down your golf swing to identify any physical limitations, and assess your movement capacity. From there we build an individually tailored exercise programme.
How is this different from Pilates for Golfers?
Golf performance is an individual physiotherapy assessment and tailored exercise programme built around your swing. Pilates for Golfers focuses on core control, mobility and stability – many golfers do both.
