Golf Physical Therapy in Charlotte, NC
Physical Therapy Designed Specifically for Golfers
Golf should challenge you game… not your body.
If you’re dealing with back pain, hip stiffness, shoulder discomfort or recurring injuries, Charlotte Golf Physical Therapy is for you. Traditional treatments often only focus on reducing pain without addressing why the problem developed in the first place.
At Recovery In Motion Performance Therapy, we take a golf-specific approach to physical therapy that helps you return to the course with confidence.
Common Conditions We Treat
-
The most common complaint among golfers. Back pain is often linked to poor mobility in the hips that alter swing mechanics. Find out why your back is hurting and how to address it once and for all.
-
Limited hip rotation can negatively impact power production costing you distance off of the tee. Sitting more than 3 hours a day is the most common factor that produces hip stiffness.
-
Shoulder pain can impact your backswing and follow through and lead to compensations in other areas of your body.
Tension around the neck and shoulders can interfere with rotation and impact your concentration on the course.
-
Previous injuries can have a major impact on your current golf game. Whether the injury/surgery was months ago or decades ago, your body doesn’t forget. Even if you don’t think it’s still impacting you. This is the most common cause of compensation in a golfer’s game.

“Dr. Duff is phenomenal. I experienced serious hip pain for months prior to seeing him. I stretched, did cryotherapy and Red Light Sauna. It helped some but then the pain would return. I saw Dr. Duff and he recommended dry-needling, band work, stretching and several other exercises. The pain has went away. He is amazing. Definitely contact him if you’re experiencing pain and your determined to feel better…”
