The Golf Conditioning programme is based upon the principles of functional exercise that are designed to restore balance, length, strength and coordination of sports specific movement patterns - in this case, golf.

These same principles are successfully used by many of the world's greatest athletes, simply by adapting the concepts to relate to the particular sport in question.

Today, the term "functional exercise," like the term "fat free," has been abused by those hoping to attract golfers and other athletes into their machine-based programmes.

The problems with this is that machines are designed to isolate muscle function. Unfortunately, the brain recruits groups of muscles in uniquely programmed sequences.

Any effective exercise programme that is designed improve function in an athlete, specifically the golfers, must therefore be designed to integrate the whole body.
