THESIS RESULTS

The thesis evaluating "The Effects of Manual Osteopathic Techniques on the Immediate Golf Swing" was submitted as a partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Sciences in Osteopathy, National University of Medical Sciences.

​

The aim of this research was to demonstrate the use of Manual Osteopathic Techniques to improve the golfers’ active mobility and enhance their ability to swing.

​

The post intervention assessment showed an average improvement of 16.2% in active range of motion. Additionally, 75%-82% of the post intervention results report an increase in the participants ability to position, engage and move different parts of the body during the Setup, Backswing, Downswing and Follow Through.

​

The results of this study indicate that there is a clear potential of pregame Manual Osteopathic Techniques and supports the possibility of enhancing the golfers’ game through golfer-centred osteopathic protocols, treatments and programmes.
