Are you...
…frustrated by recurring aches during or after golf?
…unsure what’s limiting your rotation, power, or consistency?
…tired of guessing what your body needs—whether it’s mobility, strength or swing mechanics?
…working hard on your game but not seeing measurable progress?
…wanting the kind of insight and support that elite golfers rely on?
Most golfers don’t lack effort - they lack clear, data-driven answers.
Our Golf Clinic gives you confidence and precision. Using evidence-based assessment, biomechanical insight, and performance-focused planning, we take the guesswork out of golf performance and injury prevention.
At Macfarlane Physiotherapy, our Golf Clinic helps golfers of all levels move better, swing smarter, and play more golf with less pain.
Whether you’re returning from injury, hitting your limits, or chasing lower scores, our team gives you clear answers, measurable metrics, and a personalised plan that works.
At Macfarlane Physiotherapy, our Golf Performance Clinic helps golfers of all abilities move more efficiently, reduce injury risk, and play better golf.
Using TPI golf screening, Kinvent strength and force profiling, and clinical experience from high-performance sport, we deliver evidence-based assessments and targeted programmes designed to improve swing mechanics, support rehabilitation, and enhance on-course performance.
Whether you’re returning after injury, managing ongoing aches, or looking to gain distance and consistency, our team provides clear insights, objective data, and a personalised plan built around your golf.
Our golf team is made up of specialist physiotherapists and sports rehabilitators/therapists experienced in assessing golf-related biomechanics, movement restrictions, strength imbalances and body mechanics that affect performance and injury risk.
They combine clinical expertise with sport-specific insight to deliver clear guidance, tailored programmes, and the confidence you need to keep playing golf pain-free and at your best.

Read MoreWhat We Assess & Why It Matters
Movement & Swing Mechanics
We evaluate how your body moves in relation to your golf swing — from thoracic rotation and hip mobility to weight shift and stability — to find what’s limiting your power and efficiency.
Strength, Stability & Power
Using objective measures (e.g., rotational strength, lower-limb power, core stability), we profile your physical readiness to handle golf performance demands and reduce injury risk.
Swing Analysis Context
We put movement and strength into the context of your golf mechanics to identify how physical limitations manifest in your swing pattern, power delivery and control.
Kinvent provides precise strength, balance and power testing to identify weaknesses and asymmetries that influence the golf swing and on-course performance. Using objective data and re-testing, it guides targeted strength programmes, supports golf-specific rehabilitation, and helps golfers build resilience, control and efficient power through the swing.
A comprehensive golf assessment led by a TPI-qualified physiotherapist, combining a 16-point physical and swing screen with pressure plate and video analysis to assess movement, stability and biomechanics, producing a clear report and personalised plan to improve performance or manage injury.
Shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic energy to stimulate healing in stubborn golf-related injuries such as tendon pain, heel pain, elbow conditions and chronic soft-tissue issues. It reduces pain, promotes tissue repair, and accelerates recovery when combined with progressive, golf-specific rehabilitation.
Assessment Package: Understand Your Body. Prevent Pain. Improve Your Swing
When you engage with our Assessment Package you’ll get clarity on what your body is doing (and not doing) in relation to your golf swing — plus practical steps to improve mobility, stability and swing efficiency.
Perfect for golfers who
- Want to play more with less pain
- Feel “stuck” in their backswing or follow-through (rotation limits)
- Want to understand what’s restricting distance, control or consistency
- Want to prevent flare-ups before a busy season, trip, or competition
What golfers get
- A clear picture of your golf-specific mobility, stability and strength profile
- Identification of physical limitations that influence swing mechanics and injury risk
- Personalised exercises based on objective testing
- Clear recommendations you can use immediately (warm-up, drills, gym focus)
How we achieve this
- TPI-style physical screening Thoracic/hip rotation, pelvic control, shoulder mobility, stability and sequencing markers.
- Kinvent strength & balance profiling Objective testing to spot asymmetries and deficits linked to common golf injuries.
- Golf mechanics context We connect your physical findings to how you move in your swing and set clear priorities.
Case study
A golfer with recurring low back tightness was found to have limited hip internal rotation and poor pelvic control. With targeted mobility and trunk stability work plus a golf-specific warm-up, they returned to pain-free rounds and improved consistency through the ball.
Assessment Package
Understand your body. Reduce pain. Improve your swing efficiency.
Rehabilitation Package: Fix the Root Cause. Return to Golf Stronger.
When you engage with our Rehabilitation Package you’ll get structured, measurable rehab that restores capacity and confidence — so you can swing freely and play without flare-ups.
Perfect for golfers who
- Are dealing with a current injury (back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee)
- Struggle with recurring pain after practice or rounds
- Need a clear, progressive pathway back to full golf
- Want measurable progress (not guesswork)
What golfers get
- A clear diagnosis and golf-specific rehab plan
- Objective measures showing progress (strength, balance, power, control)
- A staged return-to-golf plan (practice volume, range work, rounds)
- Confidence that the issue is resolved - not just managed
How we achieve this
- Golf injury assessment & load planning
Identify the tissue + the swing/load driver and reduce irritation while building capacity. - Kinvent re-testing to guide progression
Strength and asymmetry metrics ensure the right load at the right time. - Golf-specific rehab integration
Mobility, rotational strength, sequencing control, and tolerance to practice/round demands. - Return-to-play milestones
Clear criteria for resuming practice, increasing volume, and returning to full play.
Case study
A golfer with medial elbow pain (golfer’s elbow) showed reduced grip/forearm endurance and trunk-rotation control. After progressive loading and staged return-to-range work, symptoms settled and they returned to regular play without recurrence.
Rehabilitation Package
Fix the root cause. Rebuild confidence. Return to golf stronger.
Performance Package: Hit It Better. Move Better. Unlock Potential.
When you engage with our Performance Package you’ll get measurable physical upgrades that translate into better golf — improved rotation, stability, speed and repeatability.
Perfect for golfers who
- Want more distance without “swinging harder”
- Want better control and consistency under fatigue
- Are working with a coach and want the physical side to match the swing changes
- Want objective testing and a structured plan like high-performance athletes use
What golfers get
- A performance profile for rotation, strength, stability and power
- Clear benchmarks and targets (with re-testing)
- A personalised strength & conditioning plan that supports your swing goals
- A golf-specific warm-up and maintenance plan for durability
How we achieve this
- TPI-informed movement priorities Identify which limitations are “rate limiters” for rotation, sequencing and control.
- Kinvent power & force metrics Track progress in strength, balance, power and asymmetry reduction.
- Golf-specific strength & speed development Rotational strength, lower-limb power, trunk control, shoulder capacity and resilience.
- Performance check-ins Re-test and adjust so progress stays measurable and relevant.
Case study
A competitive golfer wanted more distance but felt restricted through impact. Testing highlighted limited thoracic rotation and reduced lower-limb power output. After targeted rotational strength and power work with re-testing, they improved speed markers and reported longer, more consistent striking.
Performance Package
Move better. Build power. Play better golf.
