A huge congratulations to Beth on becoming TPI Certified.

Beth joined us in March as our in-house sports massage therapist, and has already helped nearly 100 clients — most of them dealing with back pain, shoulder issues, and the kind of chronic tightness that builds up over time and stops you doing what you love.

Her new certification deepens that expertise with a detailed understanding of the golf swing and the movement patterns behind it — so she can pinpoint exactly where treatment will make the biggest difference to your game.

Great work, Beth!

Lower back pain is one of the most common complaints we hear from senior golfers.

These 5 exercises are designed to be done before your round to protect the lower back by restoring rotational mobility and activating muscles that protect the lower back.

In this video, I take you through each exercise step by step — simple movements you can do at the course or at home before you head out.

We use variations of these with our clients at the facility every week, and the difference it makes to how they move is significant.

Lower Back Pain Exercises for Senior Golfers (Do These Before You Play)

This 10-minute daily mobility routine targets your hips, thoracic spine, and shoulders to help you move better.

In this video, I take you through a simple follow-along routine you can do every morning. Just 10 minutes that can help you maintain distance, prevent injuries, and stay on the course long-term.

We see the results of this every day with our clients at the facility — and now you can do it at home.

Mobility work forms a fantastic basis to then develop strength and speed whilst keeping a watchful eye on how the body moves as you age.

Most seniors lose distance because of mobility — not age.This 10-minute daily mobility routine targets your hips, t-spine, and shoulders to help you keep pla...

Working with JHGF has been incredibly valuable, especially in reducing my back pain. I've also enjoyed the thorough assessments they perform, which have really helped in tailoring my program. Since joining, I've lost weight, visibly enhanced my body shape, and become stronger for golf. My handicap has dropped from 14.4 to 10.8 in just 18 months.

Great test last week at Coxmoor Golf Club.

The wind and rain battered us from start to finish but the course was in fine condition for March and certainly one to head back to in the summer to experience again.

I'm excited to introduce Beth Moore as a new permanent member of the team.

Beth’s qualified in sports massage, myofascial cupping, and sports taping. She's spent the last two years running her own clinic, treating everyone from GB athletes and professional climbers to people dealing with injuries that were stopping them doing what they love.

Her strength lies in the kind of injuries that develop gradually over time. A niggling elbow. A shoulder that won't settle. Lower back tightness that keeps coming back. These are exactly the sort of problems we see so often in golf — and the kind Beth deals with every day.

She's also done brilliant work with Escaping Victimhood, a charity supporting people who've experienced serious trauma, helping them recover through hands-on therapy.

Our Injury Clinic is now open and taking bookings. Book your session here:

Great to have Worksop Golf Club Head Pro Scott Barber in for his assessment last week. Scott's going to be working with us on his fitness to help him stay injury free and keep playing at his best for years to come.

Scott's assessment covered joint range of motion, force output, power, and swing speed — using tools like VALD Performance, My Jump Lab and SuperSpeed Golf Training System to build a complete picture of where he's at before we start building his programming.

Always great to work with golf professionals who understand the difference their body's movement capabilities make to their performance.

Meet Katie

Katie Franklin joined the team at JHGF just over a month ago — and if you've been in the facility recently, you've probably already seen her around!

Katie is a highly qualified personal trainer with advanced training in sports massage and performance nutrition. She has extensive experience working with older adults and those returning to exercise after injury or health conditions, which makes her a perfect fit for what we do here.

She's already had a real impact — both coaching clients in the gym and helping keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.

We're really pleased to have her on the team. If you haven't already, say hello next time you're in. She's here most days!

Last week we got an early look at Fringe Golf before they open in New Era Square in Sheffield this March.

4 Trackman bays (including one of the biggest simulator screens we've seen), a Zengreenstage setup for putting lessons with Phil Kenyon Putting instructor Ben Mason Golf, and coaching available with PGA Pros Horsman and Rob Calderbank.

It's an incredible set up — an indoor golf club with everything you could ever want to improve your game.

We're excited to be working alongside them to help golfers perform at their best.

The 3D Strap by is one of our go-to tools for building rotational strength through the core — essential for a powerful golf swing.

I've reduced pain and stiffness and now I’m hitting it further and straighter. Friends who I have played with for years have commented on the difference. I was worried about how much time I would need to commit to the programme, but the routines are short and easy to fit in. The work I’ve done with JHGF has improved my enjoyment of my favourite activity and I’m confident they could do the same for golfers of any level of ability or physical condition.

The ANCORE Trainer is one of our most-used pieces of equipment in the facility — involved in nearly every session. Its quick setup allows us to tailor strength, control, and rotational drills for each client.
