Our Golf Injury Physiotherapy in Manchester

Every golf injury physiotherapy assessment at our Manchester clinic begins with a focused assessment to identify the key factors affecting swing mechanics, movement efficiency, and injury risk throughout the golf swing. We regularly support patients with:

1. Lower Back & Spinal Pain

Assessment and treatment for golf-related lower back pain caused by repeated rotation, poor mobility, or reduced stability through the spine and hips.

2. Shoulder, Elbow & Wrist Injuries

Support for common golf injuries such as rotator cuff pain, golfer’s elbow, and wrist strain linked to swing mechanics and repetitive loading.

3. Hip, Pelvis & Rotational Restrictions

Treatment for hip pain or restricted rotation that can limit swing efficiency, reduce power, and increase strain on the lower back.

4. Overuse Injuries & Performance-Related Pain

Management of gradual-onset pain and overuse injuries caused by training volume, practice intensity, or inefficient movement patterns.

How We Assess

How We Assess Your Injury

At Elite Performance Physio MCR, our golf injury assessment is shaped by the physical demands of the golf swing, allowing us to identify the factors contributing to pain, restriction, or reduced performance.

Our Assessment

Our golf injury assessment focuses on understanding how movement limitations, strength deficits, and control issues are contributing to pain or injury.

This may include evaluating:

Assessment of mobility and stability through key areas involved in the golf swing
Review of movement patterns that may place excess strain on joints or tissues
Identification of physical factors that may increase injury risk or limit performance

This allows us to build a clear understanding of why pain or injury is occurring and how it relates to the demands of golf.

Why This Helps Our Physiotherapists

This allows our physiotherapists to:

Identify the root causes of golf-related pain
Recognise movement patterns that increase injury risk
Guide clinical decision-making for the demands of golf

As a result, this ensures findings are aligned with long-term golfing performance.

Our Approach

How Golf Injury Physiotherapy Works

As registered Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) professionals and golfers ourselves, we bring a performance-level understanding of the golf swing. This shapes how we assess and rehabilitate golf injuries through a structured, biomechanics-led approach.

Step 1: Initial Physiotherapy Assessment

Your journey begins with a comprehensive physiotherapy assessment to understand your injury history, current symptoms, and how physical limitations are affecting your golf swing and performance.

Step 2: Identification of Golf-Specific Factors

Through specialised golf-specific movement screening, informed by TPI principles and combined with detailed injury screening, we identify movement restrictions, asymmetries, and loading patterns contributing to pain or injury.

This allows us to pinpoint root causes rather than symptoms alone, helping to reduce future injury risk.

Step 3: Targeted Treatment & Rehabilitation Planning

Following assessment, treatment typically combines hands-on physiotherapy techniques to reduce pain and restore movement, alongside a customised rehabilitation plan featuring progressive, golf-specific exercises.

Rehabilitation is guided by attention to detail and the physical demands of the golf swing, supporting efficient and effective recovery.

Step 4: Progressive Return to Golf & Performance

Rehabilitation is progressed in structured stages to restore strength, stability, and movement control, supporting a safe return to practice, play, and performance on the course.

Progression is aligned with your goals and physical capacity to minimise the risk of setback or re-injury.

Step 5: Ongoing Support & Collaborative Care

Where appropriate, we work closely with local golf professionals, fitness trainers, and medical consultants across Greater Manchester, ensuring seamless referrals and collaborative care throughout your rehabilitation journey.

This approach supports long-term performance, resilience, and confidence in your return to golf.

Google Reviews

“Block book appointments to avoid disappointment! A professional vocalists best kept secret!! Dan has become a staple to my busy life as a performer. I try to book in as regular as possible if he has a slot available. Dan is amazing, the best in the business. I always leave feeling more relaxed, with clearer tone and ready for performance mode again. I have recommended him to other performers, reluctantly because i want to always make sure I can get an appointment. Thank you Dan!”

Chesqua - Professional Singer

“Dan is without doubt one of the best in his field of work. His knowledge and expertise is second to none. He has helped me not only physically by putting together a specialised plan for my injuries, but also mentally helping me understand by explaining everything throughly and intricately. Dan is warm, friendly and he genuinely cares about each of his clients. My sessions with Dan have not only begun to heal my injuries, but I have built strength, gained knowledge and it’s boosted my confidence. I come out of my sessions with spring in my step!”

Laura Harrison - Professional Music Theatre Performer

“After struggling with my knee for a few months, Dan popped round to make an assessment. He was clear, thoughtful, understood my lifestyle and my desire to get moving. He provided advice, guidance and hands on treatment that helped deal with the swelling and pain. I have recommended him to my son and you only do that when you trust someone to make a difference. Thank you Dan.”

Clare Hayward -Director At Cirus

“I’ve had the pleasure of being treated by Dan on two separate jobs, where he looked after my feet and voice. In only a few sessions I regained total mobility in my feet in a physically intensive show, and more recently have been making use of his vocal massage skills for a vocally demanding role. Dan has an amazing way of finding the crux of the issue and will resolve it with ease, reassurance and expertise. I would recommend Dan to anyone!”

Jed Berry - West End actor

“Dan is an extraordinarily effective physio who has helped me immediately with various joint and muscle problems over the last year and a half. In addition to the treatment he clearly explains the cause of the problems and gives exercises focusing on prevention of reoccurrence and strengthening of the area involved. I feel in great shape thanks to the treatment, core exercises and the inspiration he has given me to get back to running and exercising.”

A. Zuntz - Professional violinist

“An actress friend recommended Dan to me as I needed a vocal massage. I was on tour and my voice was getting tired. I didn’t think I would find someone in Manchester but then my friend told me about Dan. He was amazing. A really nice guy, I immediately felt comfortable and relaxed and he was so good. My voice felt so much better the next day. After that I saw him weekly, not just for my voice but for all the injuries I was sustaining on tour. He fixed my neck, back and calf, and I can’t thank him enough!”

Hayley Tamaddon - Professional actor

“I was referred to Dan by an NHS Speech and Language Therapist for laryngeal physiotherapy. Not only has Dan really helped me with this side of things, but he has also provided manual therapy and exercises for symptoms caused by autoimmune conditions and chronic pain. I am appreciative that Dan has liaised with the other healthcare professionals involved in my care as part of a holistic approach, and they have also appreciated this. He is honest and will tell you if something is likely to help or not and what may be realistic, and reviews your goals with you regularly. I would recommend him to anyone.”

Alexandra Brown - NHS psychologist

“Daniel has a real ability to understand his clients’ needs and implement the most powerful and integrative treatments. Superb in communication and application, he makes a real and lasting difference for successful recovery and physical development. With specific and varying needs, I always come away feeling empowered and reinvigorated. Dan’s the man and I will travel far and wide to get an appointment. Thanks Daniel!”

Rik Makarem - Professional actor

“Dan has helped me a lot with my piano playing related injuries and has gone further than any other physio I’ve had to combat the problem. I return regularly not only to maintain my wellbeing but to have a catch up too. I highly recommend Dan to anyone!”

Mackenzie Paget - Classical pianist
