Swing analysis

See the fault. Then see the reason behind it.

Video swing review from a physical therapist's eye — every characteristic traced back to a mobility, stability or strength test you can actually change.

What the review gives you

Face-on and down-the-line

Slow-motion capture with posture and angle overlays so you can see the fault, not just hear about it.

Cause

Every fault traced to a test

Each characteristic is linked back to a scored physical test — so the fix is specific, not generic.

Fault to cause

How we read your swing

  • Early extension

    Hips lose posture into the ball

    Likely cause: Hip internal rotation, glute control

  • S-posture / C-posture

    Setup collapses or over-arches

    Likely cause: Thoracic extension, deep core endurance

  • Sway & slide

    Lateral drift off the ball

    Likely cause: Pelvic separation, single-leg stability

  • Casting

    Angle released too early

    Likely cause: Wrist mobility, forearm strength

  • Flat shoulder plane

    Turn goes around, not on plane

    Likely cause: Thoracic rotation, scapular control

  • Chicken winging

    Lead elbow bends through impact

    Likely cause: Shoulder rotation, rotator cuff strength

FAQs

Swing analysis questions

Still unsure? Call 774-436-5558 and we'll talk it through — no front desk, you'll reach your therapist.

Is this a golf lesson?
No. We analyse your swing to understand what your body is doing, not to change your technique. You keep your coach — we make sure your body can actually perform what they're asking for.
What equipment do you use?
High-frame-rate video from face-on and down-the-line, side-by-side comparison, angle and posture overlays, and slow-motion playback of your sequencing from address to follow-through.
Can I use my own swing videos?
Yes. Send footage ahead of your visit and we'll review it before you arrive so more of your hour goes to hands-on work.
How is this different from a launch monitor session?
A launch monitor tells you what the ball did. Video plus a physical screen tells you why your body produced that strike — and which of those causes is fixable with mobility, strength or motor control work.
Do you share the analysis with my coach?
With your permission, always. We send a short summary of your physical limitations and the swing characteristics they explain, so your lessons and your rehab pull in the same direction.
How often should I be re-analysed?
Most golfers re-shoot video every 6–8 weeks during a training block, or after any significant change in mobility, strength or equipment.
