Do you play golf?  

If yes then we are the golf partner you have always been looking for – we are Optimum Performance Golf Fitness (OPGF) at [d7] Spatial Medicine Clinic.

Optimum Performance Golf Fitness programs will work with you to:

  • ·         Improve club head speed
  • ·         Bolster driving distance
  • ·         Decrease golf trajectory errors
  • ·         Reduce total golf scores
  • ·         Reduce the impact of injury

We are launching our  new OPGF program pre Christmas 2013 this gives you the golfer ample time in the non qualifying season to not only improve your game but the golfer within you.

Not only are we Golf Fitness and Corrective Exercise Specialist – we are golfers we understand it from your side .

There is a popular image that golf is a leisurely sport. And yet any of us who play golf know it to be the opposite.
 Golf is a game / sport that require a high level of skill, flexibility, mobility, strength, timing, endurance and hand to eye coordination.
This skill base needs to be maintained and replicated over and over again across 18 holes.  

We as golfers need to withstand high levels of force and load.
So often we fall foul of golf related injuries and traumas – most of these injuries occur from cumulative trauma caused by technical deficiencies coupled with existing musculo-skeletal / postural dysfunctions.
Simply put poor swing mechanics coupled with poor posture.

At our [d7] Clinic our OPGF programs can change all that for you – we train golfers to be fit with corrective exercise strategies.

 While most golf fitness programs focus on training in one direction (one plane of movement- sagital plane) we will utilize a Progressive Integrated Approach and focus on developing functional strength and neuro-muscular efficiency.
This approach involves all three planes of movement / direction as well as
  • ·         Flexibility training
  • ·         Core training
  • ·         Balance training
  • ·         Plyometric training
  • ·         Resistance training
  • ·         Cardio-respiratory training


Training is client centric and can be on a 121, duet or small group basis (not exceeding 7)

Reason's to go GAGA for the Reformer

Reason's to go GAGA for the Reformer Here's a great quiz question what does Lady Gaga and the London Irish rugby team have in common ? would you believe it they both practice Pilates on the Reformer!!! Lady Gaga on the Reformer -  article in the DailyMail Pilates is called the Pilates System because it is designed around 7 pieces of equipment – one of which is the Pilates Reformer – sometimes described as a Reformer bed, perhaps eluding to it’s origins as a 3ft single bed in an internment camp on the Isle of Man, where Joseph Pilates spent much of the 1 st WW and insisted that all the inmates perform daily movements utilizing their bed springs!  In my opinion the Reformer stands out on its own from the other pieces for its versatility While BODYFIRM [est 1998] have always had a fully equip studio [reformer, trap table, barrels etc] most people are more familiar with  Mat Pilates, however in the last few years more studios have opened in Dubl...

Tabata - High Intensity Interval Training

Also check out our Client Jan Newsletter  We have been using the Tabata system of training in our studio for several years now both in our Met-X-Fitness and in our more Blitz / Boot Camp orientated Pilates Mat and Reformer Class’s and because I know all about the excellent benefits and results of this style of training I rather stupidly assumed everyone else did too. I realized last week that this was not the case when on two separate occasions I was asked by a client and a trainer I was chatting with - the same two questions what exactly is Tabata? And how does it work? So here it is – Tabata, a high intensity, short duration effective exercise system Tabata – What is it? Tabata (developed by it’s name sake Japanese Professor Izumi Tabata) is a high intensity interval training system (HIIT) that since its inception has provided remarkable results  - he originally developed this system for the Japanese speed skating team in 1996 Tabata – How does it wor...
