Discover the truth behind what’s holding you back. 89% of golfers suffer from it, but most have never heard of it…
Chances are you’re one of them.
The Key to Improving Your Swing
Bottom line, you can spend $1000's on equipment and lessons, practice till you drop, and play 10 times a week, but if your muscles are imbalanced, you will never reach your full potential on the course.
Get your muscles working as they should and everything else falls into place.
Fix The Root of the Issue
-
Increase your range of motion and develop greater hip and shoulder turn. This means more power and faster clubhead speed.
-
Eliminate upper and lower back pain so you never have to miss another round with friends.
-
Accelerate recovery and feel better day-to-day, both on and off the course.
-
Enjoy playing golf again!
Have you heard of adaptive muscle shortening?
There is a condition that most golfers, and even doctors, are failing to identify, but if you suffer from:
- WEAK GLUTES
- UPPER AND LOWER BACK PAIN
- WEAK HAMSTRINGS
- TIGHT HIP FLEXORS
- TIGHT QUADS
- KNEE PAIN
...then you most likely have adaptive muscle shortening.
Adaptive Muscle Shortening Is Holding You Back
Our muscles are the engine by which we move, impacting every aspect of our bodies whether we realize it or not. Unfortunately, muscles do not naturally maintain their healthy or ideal range of motion. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Muscles will change their functional resting length to adapt to the length at which they are habitually used or positioned.
This is bad news for most of us.
As a culture we are spending more and more time sitting, which results in weak hamstrings, tight hip flexors, and a pelvic tilt. To add to this, playing golf puts your muscles under stress, demanding range of motion that may not be possible with shortened and weakened muscles. Not only will shortened muscles impact your flexibility, club head speed and enjoyment of the game, but they will eventually lead to injury.
We're not just talking about a bit of soreness after a round, tight muscles can cause a multitude of problems such as:
- Bad posture on and off the course
- Trouble sleeping
- Low energy in day-to-day life
- Circulatory issues
- Knee pain
- Lower and upper back pain
- Underdeveloped glutes
If any of these sound familiar to you, don’t worry, because you’re not alone. Tight or shortened muscles affect nearly everyone, not just golfers. But before we get to the solution, we have to take a look at the root cause of the problem.
The Root of the Problem isn’t what you think…
Each of us has our own pain points, whether it be tight shoulders and neck, hamstrings, quads, etc. However, what we may not realize is the root of these problems is all connected through one muscle–one you’ve probably never heard of, let alone trained or stretched.
Introducing the Hidden Muscle that is the key to unlocking your full potential.
The psoas (so-as) is the muscle that connects the lower body to the upper body, and effects the position of the pelvis.
It is one of two muscles that makes up the iliopsoas, and is the bridge between your upper and lower body. Almost every movement involves the psoas, making it not only one of the most important muscles in the body, but also the secret to unlocking your full potential.
When the psoas is healthy and functioning correctly it creates a neutral pelvic alignment, stabilizing the hips and supporting the lower back and abdomen. When it is unbalanced or tight, there are serious consequences in almost every part of your body, showing up as upper and lower crossed syndrome, which result in a pelvic tilt.
What causes the psoas to shorten?
The golf swing isn’t entirely to blame, although the bent over posture does allow the psoas to become tight. Sitting, whether it be at a desk job, driving, or on the couch, will eventually lead to a shortened and underdeveloped psoas muscle.
Why isn’t everyone talking about this?
Diagnosing the root cause of symptoms can be tricky, and many health professionals struggle to pinpoint this muscle buried deep in your hips. Understand, that this is not your fault! However, now that you know, it’s up to you to do something about it. That’s where we come in.
Unlock your full potential through our sequential method.
Lengthening the muscles, especially the psoas, needs to be done in the right order, with balance and intention.
This is why so many people give up when they don't experience results within the first few days. The reality is, lengthening the muscles takes time, and needs to be done alongside strengthening supporting muscles.
Our program takes the guesswork out of mobility for golfers. Built by our sports therapist, the routines are easy to follow along with, and will unpack the muscles in the correct way. Our goal is to help you unravel all the tissues including the muscle, fascia, connective tissue, and finally the joint itself.
The Shocking Truth of Adaptive Shortening
Adaptive shortening is muscle tightness caused by a muscle being forced to remain in a shortened position for a prolonged period of time. Whether it be on the course, in a desk chair, or on the couch, the cumulative time spent in these positions has real consequences on muscle structure.
This shortening causes a reduced range of motion, a feeling of tightness in the muscles, and added stress on the connected tendons. However, most symptoms will not show up until the muscle has already shortened a significant amount. The results are postural distortion and the replacing of normal contractile elements with non-contractile tissue.
Chances are, your muscles are already unbalanced.
The earlier the intervention, the faster and better the results!
In every movement there are four main functions of the associated muscles:
- Agonists - the muscles being exercised/worked.
- Antagonists - the opposing muscles acting in contrast to the agonists.
- Stabilizers - muscles that hold the joint in place.
- Assistors - muscles that help the Agonist muscles.
Muscle Balance speaks primarily to the agonist and antagonist muscles in any given movement. It is important to have balance to prevent injury, which is why stretching is so important for amateur golfers. When one muscle becomes tight, its antagonist will also be effected, and can even be injured as a result.
You see, our muscles are the engine through which our body moves. They control balance, our ability to sit, stand, twist, reach, bend and walk. When our muscles become shortened, it causes problems in otherwise healthy people.
Here's the truth:
Most people don’t realize that the cause of their problems is tight or shortened muscles. The impact tight muscles have on the whole body never occurs to us until we start to experience the symptoms. This can show up as a nagging injury, or in poor posture caused by upper and/or lower crossed syndrome.
Shortened muscles and the resulting limited range of motion in the joints affects nearly everybody, but few realize they impact every aspect of the whole body. Diagnosing adaptive shortening can be tricky. Chances are, you won’t discover the problem until it has already limited your range of motion. The good thing is that it CAN be reversed.
Why stretching for 5 minutes before a round isn’t the answer.
Knowing you have adaptive shortening in the muscles is one thing. Knowing how to take steps to reverse it is another challenge altogether.
Most of us were taught that stretching for a couple minutes before exercise would help loosen the muscles and prevent injury, but this is not the case. Holding a static stretch for 10 seconds will do nothing to lengthen the muscle, and barely scratches the surface of what needs to happen in the structure of the muscle.
Life is busy, so for most of us the idea of stretching for an hour every day may be an unrealistic goal. That’s where we come in.
Our stretching program has been designed to make the most of your time, targeting problem areas in a specific sequence to attack muscles from a variety of angles. Muscles have to be unpacked and balanced in a particular way to have the desired result.
It is a combination of practices maintained over time that will help your muscles lengthen and sustain a healthy range of motion, especially as you age.
Unlock your full potential with our dynamic method.
Creating muscle balance needs to be done with balance and intention. Our sequential, dynamic method works to unravel all the tissues including the muscle, fascia, connective tissue, and finally the joint itself. Through a combination of dynamic movements that both strengthen and stretch, and static deep-tissue stretches, our program makes injury prevention easy.
Our program is laid out in a day-by-day format, with each day having its own 15-20 minute video routine. These videos are designed to be easy to follow, holding each stretch for an average of 1 minute. A whole 60 seconds may feel like an eternity in the beginning, but it is within this time period where change in flexibility and range of motion begins to occur.
Our unique sequential method targets the muscles prone to adaptive shortening for golfers, especially the psoas.
GETTING STARTED
The Dynamic Golfers program can help unlock your full potential by increasing range of motion, accelerating recovery and preventing injury.
Whole Body Stretch
As golfers, we demand a lot from our bodies. The whole body routines will work on loosening up muscles, increasing blood flow to joints, leaving you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
Glute Focus
The glutes are the main stabilizing muscles within each swing. These routines will target your glutes to maintain a healthy range of motion and prevent any muscle soreness, giving you a strong foundation for your swing.
Spine & Back
As golfers it's important to reset the spine and relax the muscles in the upper and lower back. In the spine and back routines we will release tension in the back caused by golfing.

Improve Your Consistency
Are you a hit or miss golfer? A healthy range of motion can help relax your swing, improve accuracy and in turn improve your consistency. Stretching can also help develop better balance, which in turn will boost your confidence and performance out on the course.
Boost Club Head Speed
Strength training may be the first thing you think of to improve your club head speed, but without flexibility you will not have the range of motion to properly implement any power gains. Targeting stretching can help you build up control over your swing and unlock the power you already have.
Play Pain Free
Everything in the body is connected, and as golfers we demand a lot from our muscles, joints and ligaments. Stretching not only combats adaptive muscle shortening, but also keeps connections strong, treating and preventing injury, improving functionality and longevity.
