Shoulder Mobilizer
Release date: Autumn 2006!

An effective golfswing requires maximum external rotation in the shoulder joint. If this movement is limited, the golfswing will be limited to a reduced range of movement.
The patented PhysioDriver Shoulder Mobilizer is specifically designed to increase external rotation. The shoulder joint will be fixed in such a way that movement is concentrated on this specific movement.

• The seat and handle are easily adjusted to users of all sizes
• The thorax will be fixed, thus limiting the movement to the shoulder joint
• The elbow will be fixed in 90 degrees, thus limiting the movement to the shoulder joint
• The seat can be turned to create extension of the shoulder joint
• Both left and right shoulder can be mobilized
• Easy and effective to use

There are four phases of the golfswing: take away, forward swing, acceleration and follow-through (figure 1). During the forward swing, the right shoulder is being placed in maximum external rotation. If the right shoulder has limited movement in this direction, the golf player may compensate by extending the wrist. This causes a poor technique and may also well cause pain in the wrist and/or shoulder.

Figure 1. The Golfswing

Furthermore, the golfswing subjects the players to move the shoulder to its maximum capacity thereby subjecting the joint and muscles an extreme and abrupt movement. The likehood for injury is alarming if the joint is not properly mobilized and the muscles are not properly stretched to prepare for this extreme rotational movement. Therefore it is critical to mobilize/stretch before teeing up.
Through proper mobilizing/ stretching with PhysioDriver you will decrease the risk for injury, increase the movement of the shoulder joint and thereby improve your playing performance.
