  • Lower back pain 
  • Thoracic, mid back pain
  • Cervical, neck pain
  • Wrist sprains 
  • Meniscus Knee injuries

Understanding the demands of the golf swing

Reignite Physio is based out of the St Clair Golf Clubrooms so Duncan regularly sees golfers through his doors and works with the pros and junior top golfers.

Duncan played lots of golf from a young age to his varsity days in the UK and enjoyed taking his clubs on holidays exploring the rural links courses in Scotland. So he appreciates the components of the swing and the requirements to get back to pain-free hitting. 

Dunedin boasts so many great golf clubs with stunning scenery and different challenges when the weather sets in.

Duncan understands the rotational forces and repetitive strain placed on the spine, shoulders, and hips during every round. By assessing your thoracic spine mobility, hip turn, and muscular control, we help you swing smoothly.

Whether you are aiming to lower your handicap or simply want to complete 18 holes,  we tailor your treatment to keep you swinging comfortably.

Tailored programs for your game and recovery

Beyond diagnosing and treating acute injuries, we provide structured rehabilitation plans and conditioning to elevate your performance on the course. Duncan designs targeted exercise routines focusing on rotational power, hip and thoracic mobility to help translate into better power. 

Improve your endurance, reduce post-round soreness, and add yards to your drive by addressing underlying biomechanical imbalances. Book your assessment today to keep your game sharp throughout the season.
