Golfer’s Massage

Specialized Treatments

Golfer's massage in Pacific Grove helps players at Pebble Beach, Spanish Bay, and local courses improve swing mobility, reduce lower back pain, and prevent common golf injuries. Whether you play weekly or preparing for tournaments, specialized massage addresses the unique demands of golf—repetitive rotation, grip pressure, and postural stress—keeping you on the course longer and performing better.

What is Golfer’s Massage?

A Golfer’s Massage is a specialized therapeutic treatment designed to address the physical demands and common tension areas experienced by golfers. It focuses on key areas such as the shoulders, upper back, and neck to improve swing mobility and relieve stiffness. The lower back and hips are targeted to release tightness caused by repeated rotational movements, while the forearms and wrists are treated to reduce tension from constant gripping of the club. The massage also includes attention to the legs and feet to enhance balance and support endurance throughout the course.

Massage Therapy Reviews

How often should golfers get massage?

Active golfers (2-3 rounds weekly): bi-weekly massage. Weekend golfers: monthly maintenance. Tournament prep: weekly during competition season. Off-season: monthly to address accumulated tension and prevent injuries.

Will massage improve my golf swing?

Massage doesn't teach technique, but it removes physical restrictions limiting your swing. By releasing tight shoulders, hips, and back, you gain the mobility needed for proper rotation, follow-through, and power generation.

Book 3-5 days before to maximize benefits without feeling loose or fatigued on game day. Avoid day-before massage. Post-tournament recovery massage works best 24-48 hours after your final round.

When should I schedule massage before a tournament?

A great swing starts with a relaxed body. Let us help you find your flow, both on and off the course.
