Client Testimonials
Robert Allenby
“Three weeks ago, Robert Allenby could barely hold a club and was in doubt on the eve of the Australian Open because of a hand injury. With constant physiotherapy, he played on and won his second national championship by one shot, then took out the PGA last week before returning to Victoria to attempt a third win.
"I can't ever imagine playing three weeks of unbelievable golf," Allenby said. "When I came down, I wasn't expecting to win at all and I've walked away with three of them. It's quite remarkable. I didn't even think I was going to play the Australian Open, let alone win it but Paul Trainor - I can't thank him enough, he's worked absolute wonders on me.”
— Robert Allenby, Winner "Triple Crown" 2005 Australian Open - Australian PGA Championship - Australian Masters
Greg Norman
“I can't complain, I'm feeling in pretty good rhythm today. Actually, it's the first time I've felt fairly loose on a golf course in two years. Because of my shoulder surgery back in February, I really haven't been able to keep my flexibility going because I couldn't do anything, so I've really paid the price. But Paul Trainor, quite honestly, in the last two weeks I've been here, has done a great job in getting my shoulder and back loose… and that's all it is.”
— Greg Norman AO, Australian PGA Championship, 2011.
Common Golf Injuries
Lower Back Pain
Enormous forces are generated through the golf swing, especially in the lumbo-pelvic region. Injuries can include overload to the intervertebral disc, facet joints, or soft tissue structures around the spine.
Neck Pain
Good neck/cervical spine mobility is crucial for an efficient golf swing. A stiff cervical spine may lead to acute neck pain or pain and stiffness after playing.
Shoulder Pain
The right shoulder is a primary area treated in golfers due to high repetitive loads, poor technique, inadequate strength, and degenerative changes.
