How Osteopathy Can Improve Your Golf Swing – Aberdeen’s Link to Augusta and Better Back Health

Aberdeen’s Augusta Connection — and How Osteopathy Can Help Your Golf Game

As golf fans across the world tune into the Masters this weekend, it’s worth noting a little-known local connection between Aberdeen and Augusta National. The world-famous course in Georgia was co-designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie — the same legendary course architect who designed the Hazlehead Mackenzie [Championship] Course right here in Aberdeen.

While we may not have the Georgia sunshine all of the time, we do share a passion for the game — and at Aberdeen Osteopathy Clinic, we understand how golf can take a toll on your body, especially your back.

Why Golfers Visit Our Clinic

The golf swing is a complex, full-body movement that demands flexibility, balance, and core strength. When your body isn’t moving as it should, your swing — and your score — can suffer. Common issues we help with include:

• Lower back pain after a round

• Stiff shoulders limiting your backswing

• Hip or knee discomfort during follow-through

• Muscle tension affecting balance and posture

How Osteopathy Helps

Osteopathy focuses on improving the function of your musculoskeletal system. Through a combination of hands-on techniques, movement advice, and exercises, we help:

• Restore mobility in stiff joints

• Improve flexibility and alignment for a smoother swing

• Relieve pain and reduce tension in overworked muscles

• Prevent injuries, keeping you on the course longer

Whether you’re a seasoned player or just getting started, osteopathy can be a game-changer for your performance — and your comfort.
