Do you have a menu with prices for golf fitness only not instruction
Hi David, Bruce Hymanson here. I sincerely hope you are doing well. Hope Bodyblade is still part of your training. We are stronger than ever in all sports performance training but especially golf. Please touch base with me to discuss how we can work together more in the future. All the best, Bruce
Pricing varies depending on location and type of service. What location are you interested in? We do not do golf instruction, only golf fitness so all prices would be for golf fitness only. Usually we start with an assessment. The assessment is usually 2 hours and includes functional movement assessment, orthopedic assessment, K-vest 3D movement assessment, and a training program design. That ranges from $200-$300 depending on location and if you have any discount or promotional coupons.
Thanks Bruce. We still do use Body Blade at FitGolf.
I cannot get close to touching my toes. I know I have tight hamstrings. Are there exercises to correct this or to become more flexible in general? My guess is that there may be multiple issues.
Bill,
It is possible that you have several issues. Someone who understands these issues could easily tell you. Having said that, you could be correct about the tight issue, but the only way to know is to be tested. Take a look at https://www.fitgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/Exercises/Reeducate/toetouchtoesup.pdf and https://fitgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/Exercises/Reeducate/toetouchheelsup.pdf. If your toe touch resolves with these, it is not short hamstrings rather increased tone from use.

I really enjoyed this article and the results of the study. I have had several clients in the past that could not touch their toes and through a lot of mobility work on hips, hamstring, calves and feet they have eventually reach their toes. However, I have a client that I have been working with for over 6 months and I have not had much success with him trying to reach the toes. I am considering referring him to a PT. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks for your comment Richard. Please tell me where you are located and I will do my best to assist you.

I am in Southern Cal Canyon Lake ca.
You could call Jeremy Klinkhammer in our San Diego Center. sandiego.fitgolf.com is where you can find his contact data. I am sure he could help you.

Dave I have been getting pain in both sides of my butox how can I streach that is their a way? or something I can do to losen this up thanks .
Steve,
Thanks for the question. It is a good one and while we can teach you many great stretches for your glutes, are you sure that is what you need. Pain in the glutes can come from the lower back, the hip, or locally in the glutes. I would think we would want to know what the issue is before blindly applying a stretch that could create more issues. Where do you live. I may know someone there that could help, or we could look via skype. Then I would feel good about giving you as specific exercise prescription. You can look at the releasing section of our exercise library at fitgolf.com/exercises-library/ and find many different hip, glute and lower back stretches.

Does running on a treadmill tend to cause tight or shortened hamstrings?
Running in general works the hamstrings. I dont know of any data that supports the idea that a treadmill causes that more than running outside. I can only suggest that you stretch the hamstrings dynamically prior to running and then passively after your run. If you look at Fitgolf.com/exercises-library, and click on re-education exercises, you will see the toe touch exercises, and on the releasing page, a passive hamstring stretch. Please let me know if you need any help finding these.

Jeremy or Dave,
I’m 58 and can balance over 2 minutes on each leg but barely 5 seconds either side with my eyes closed. How important is the closed eyes metric to golf? Sometimes I wish my eyes were closed when I swing but rarely do I consciously close them during a round except to maybe visualize a shot.
Hi Macy. Eyes closed is the metric that tells us for real how your proprioceptive sensation is functioning. Eyes open testing allows for visual anchoring, a phenomena where the eyes fixate on something and act as a gauge to the brain. Basically the eyes tell the brain how far the object is from you and the brain has the ability to sense very small changes in the information coming from the eyes to make corrections and hold you in balance. When you close your eyes, you loose that anchoring. Without the visual anchoring from your eyes, your brain is forced to rely on the feedback from your body…the joints, muscles, ligaments, etc. If you are good with visual anchoring, and not without it, that tells us that you have challenges in how your body sends feedback to the brain about position…a.k.a. proprioception. If that system is challenged, you can count on having challenges with your swing motion as you are not giving good feedback to the brain to make the little corrections you need to swing efficiently and freely. I hope that makes sense….
Dave
