Simplify Motion Physical Therapy
A personalized approach to rehabilitation and performance
Are you sick of hearing complaints about pain after a round of golf? "Can you take out the trash?" "I can't pick up the kids toys babe." "Can you get me my Tylenol?"
Moms, give yourself the gift of peace and quiet. Buy a package for the golfer in your life. It's the most passive aggressive way to say "stop playing so damn much golf and then lay around all day?" ... I mean "I love you"
Ever wonder why you see PGA Tour pros throwing medicine balls in their training videos? It's not random β it's science. π₯β³
Here's the equation: Power = Force Γ Speed. Lifting heavy weights builds force. But if you can't apply that force fast, you're leaving yards on the table. That's exactly why pros layer medicine ball slams on top of their strength work β to train explosive power, not just raw strength.
A 10-pound slam ball is all you need to start. Slam it down as fast and hard as you can. That's the same principle the best players in the world use to generate clubhead speed β and you can do it at home or in the gym.

Why Lifting Weights Will NOT Ruin Your Golf Swing
A Golf Channel commentator said Tiger Woods ruined his career by lifting weights. Let's talk about why that take is mostly wrong. ποΈβοΈβ³
The top PGA Tour pros today aren't just golfers β they're elite athletes. Chris Gotterup benching 260 lbs? That's a number only 1% of regular gym-goers can hit. The idea that lifting weights hurts your golf game ignores what's actually happening at the highest level of the sport.
Yes, range of motion matters. Yes, injuries happen β they happen in the NFL, the NBA, and everywhere else. But avoiding the gym because you're afraid of hurting your golf swing? You're leaving serious distance and power on the table.

Stop Using a Light Grip (It's Ruining Your Golf Swing)
Most golf instructors tell you to use a light grip. That advice is dead wrong β unless you're a PGA Tour pro. ποΈ
Here's the truth: PGA Tour players have elite grip strength. When they say "lighten up," they're talking relative to their own baseline β which is way beyond the average golfer. For the rest of us, a weak grip means poor face control, less power, and wayward shots.
The fix? Build your grip strength with a simple kettlebell carry walk. Grab the heaviest weight you can hold, walk back and forth for a set amount of time, switch hands, and repeat. That's it. Your grip pressure, face control, and power will all improve.

Think your balance is fine? Most golfers do β until they try this. π
Standing on one leg with your eyes closed for 10 seconds sounds easy. It's not. And your balance directly impacts your golf swing β specifically your follow through, hip sway, and whether you can hold your finish on your lead hip without bailing out early.
Poor balance = hip sway, swing deviation, and hanging back at impact. Fix your balance, fix your swing.
Try it tonight: stand on one foot for 30 seconds, then close your eyes. Can you hit 10 seconds? That's your starting point.

Ever wonder why hockey players pick up golf so naturally? β³π
It all comes down to wrist rotation. In hockey, the slap shot trains you to drive through with your wrists and rotate toward your target β exactly what a great golf swing requires. That's the movement pattern baseball players have to unlearn, and hockey players already have it built in.
If you've got a hockey background, your transition to golf might be easier than you think. And if you don't β I'll show you how to train that same athletic motion.

Baseball Players: This Is Why You Can't Hit a Golf Ball
Baseball players struggle with golf for one simple reason β your wrists. β³
In baseball, you're trained to keep an open face and drive forward. In golf, that same habit wrecks your ball striking. The fix? Getting your wrists to roll over through impact.
If you played baseball and can't figure out why your golf swing feels off, this is the movement pattern you need to fix first.

Anyone can splurge on premium clubs or sign up for lessons, but only a select few golfers truly dedicate themselves to the grind. True progress comes from discipline, consistency, and a relentless work ethicβqualities that simply canβt be purchased. No fancy gear can substitute the power of putting in the hard yards.

Having one leg weaker than the other can cause all sorts of problems in the golf swing. A split squat is a great way to isolate each leg and build up the weaker one so you can have symmetrical power off the tee.
