The Problem Most Golf Care Misses
Pain in golf isn't coming from where you've been told to look
Most golf-related pain gets treated in one of two ways: as a swing issue (more lessons) or a body issue (rest, ice, adjustments). Both can be part of the picture, but neither answers the question that actually matters — can your body physically do what your swing is asking it to?
A swing coach can identify what your swing should look like. Imaging can rule out structural damage. Neither tells you if you have the necessary mobility, stability, power and firing sequence get your swing where it needs to be so you can perform and stay healthy.
That's the gap Going Beyond Par was built to close.
What's Included
A complete clinical recovery program for golfers
01
FULL MOVEMENT ASSESSMENT
We assess basic mobility, stability, and movement patterns across your whole body--not just the area hurting you. This reveals any physical limitations which may be contributing to your problems on the golf course.
02
GOLF-SPECIFIC BIOMECHANICAL TESTING
We assess your strength, power and swing mechanics to see how your physical limitations connect to your swing pattern. Understanding whether pain is coming from physical restrictions, swing mechanics, or both shapes everything that comes next.
03
SPORTS CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Targeted adjustments help restore motion to stiff joints and reduce irritation to the affected areas of your body. Soft-tissue treatments help loosen muscles and reduce pain.
04
GOLF-SPECIFIC REHABILITATION
We use exercises to help you learn how to use the areas of your body that have been too locked up to work properly. We work to strengthen those muscles so you don't end up back where you started again.
05
RETURN TO PLAY PLANNING
We use our Going Beyond Par training guide to help you understand how to warm-up, train between rounds, and manage load so you can stay in the game--not just recover from it.
Total Investment: Estimated to be $459 to $899 depending on your medical insurance coverage. Typically medical insurance covers the initial Movement Assessment, sports chiropractic care and any golf-specific rehabilitation.
What Makes it Different
Why this isn't just sports chiropractic for golfers
It's diagnostic, not just therapeutic. Most clinics treat what hurts. We focus on understanding why it hurts — by looking at how your body and your swing interact.
The biomechanics testing is the differentiator. No other Spokane sports chiropractor combines a movement assessment with motion-capture swing analysis. This is what lets us answer the body-vs-swing question with data, not assumptions.
It's built around getting you back to your routine. Every part of the program is structured to leave you with a plan you can run on your own. We're not in the business of keeping you the same.
It works alongside your coach. If you have a swing coach, the data from your biomechanics testing helps inform their work too. We're a complement to instruction, not a replacement for it.
Common Question
Will this help me play better, or just play without pain?
The honest answer is that this is a clinical program, not a performance program. The goal is to address the pain and physical limitations that are getting in the way of your game.
That said, when we restore the mobility, stability, and movement patterns your swing requires, many golfers do find performance benefits. They're more comfortable, more consistent, and able to play more often. Whether that translates into shooting lower scores depends on a lot of factors that live outside the clinic — your practice habits, your swing mechanics, your equipment, the time you put in. We're focused on the part we can actually help you with.
If your physical limitations are the bottleneck, we'll address those. If your swing mechanics are the primary issue, we'll tell you that and recommend continuing work with a coach.
What to Expect
Realistic recovery timelines
Every golfer is different, but here's what we typically see based on the nature of the issue.
6-8 VISITS
Acute Flare-up
Recent onset, first-time issue. Fast response with the right treatment and activity modification
4-8 WEEKS
Persistent or Recurring Pain
Pain that has been present for weeks or months, or keeps coming back. Requires addressing the underlying movement dysfunctions.
8-16 WEEKS
Performance Rebuild
Full recovery requires building the necessary mobility, strength and swing mechanics needed to stay pain-free for the long term.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions golfers ask us about our Going Beyond Par Recovery Program
Q: Do I need to be injured to do this program?
A: Not necessarily. Many golfers start the program because they're recovering from something that didn't fully resolve, dealing with recurring flare-ups, or noticing physical limitations that are affecting their game. The Movement Assessment will help clarify where you are and what makes sense from there.
Q: How is this different from working with a swing coach?
A: A swing coach diagnoses and improves your swing. We diagnose and address the physical side — your mobility, stability, and any limitations affecting how your body moves during the swing. The two work together, and the data from our biomechanics testing can give your coach better information to work with.
Q: Is the biomechanics testing covered by medical insurance?
A: No. The biomechanics testing is a cash service ($299) performed off-site at our partner facility. Most patients use insurance for the movement assessment, sports chiropractic, and rehabilitation portion of care.
Q: What if I'm not sure I need the full program?
A: Start with the Movement Assessment. It gives you a clear medical picture of your situation and you'll leave with a real understanding of whether the full Going Beyond Par program is the right fit--or whether something smaller makes sense. You're not committing to anything else by booking it.
Q: Do I have to be a serious golfer to benefit?
A: No. We work with weekend players, club members, league competitors, and a handful of competitive amateurs. The program scales to wherever you are and whatever you want from your game.
Q: How long does the whole program take to complete?
A: Most golfers finish the active care portion in 4-8 weeks. The training guide and the maintenance work are yours from there.
Q: What is the Going Beyond Par training guide?
A: Our Going Beyond Par training guide is our self-help overview of how to structure your golf plan so you can avoid pain and enhance your performance. It is available for purchase in our store on the website and included for those who complete the golf biomechanics testing.
