Golf physiotherapy at Evolution is for golfers playing through pain, or not playing at all. Golf asks a lot of a body: rotation at speed, repeated impact and long rounds mean pain in the back, hips, shoulders, elbows or wrists is common, and most golfers simply put up with it until they cannot.
Our physiotherapist assesses pain, injury and movement restriction through a detailed clinical and movement assessment, then treats the cause rather than managing the symptom. Because your golf swing is assessed alongside your body, we can see how your swing mechanics and your symptoms are connected, with hands on treatment where appropriate and a rehabilitation programme that rebuilds strength and movement quality so the same injury does not return next season.
Your return to golf is planned alongside your coach from the first appointment, at Ormonde Fields Golf Club in Codnor, near Ripley, around 20 minutes from Derby.
Four ways our physiotherapist gets golfers out of pain and back onto the course.
A thorough movement and clinical assessment to identify the source of pain, restriction or dysfunction, rather than guessing at it.
Treatment where it is appropriate, targeted at the cause of the problem so relief lasts beyond the appointment.
A structured plan that rebuilds strength and movement quality, so the same injury does not return next season.
We plan your return alongside your coach, so getting back on the course happens at the right time and in the right way.
Playing through pain is not a long term plan. Most golfers who get it assessed properly are surprised how quickly it settles once the real cause is treated.

Our approach
Six things that stay the same, whichever part of the academy you use.
Before anything changes, we take the time to understand your goals, your golf and how you actually want to spend your time here.
TrackMan technology and TPI movement principles mean every decision is based on what is really happening rather than an opinion.
Technical, physical, or simply how you practise. There is always a reason changes are not sticking, and we identify it before we act.
Our PGA Professionals, physiotherapist and strength and conditioning coaches share what they find, so nothing gets missed between them.
You leave with a clear, personalised plan built around your body, your goals and the time you realistically have to practise.
We measure again as you go, so improvement is something you can point at rather than something you hope is happening.
Coaching, facilities and the right environment for all ages and abilities. For golfers in Derby, Alfreton, Ripley, Belper and Ilkeston.
Why golfers choose us
Golfers travel to Codnor from Derby, Nottingham, Ripley, Heanor, Ilkeston and Alfreton for one reason: everything needed to actually improve sits on one site, and every change is measured rather than guessed.
Every golf lesson is taught one to one by a PGA Professional and built around your body, your goals and your golf swing. No templates, no generic swing models.
The same radar technology used on tour measures your club and ball on every swing, so changes are proven by numbers rather than opinion or feel.
TrackMan driving range, simulator, teaching bay, grass range, short game area and golf fitness suite, all at Ormonde Fields Golf Club in Ripley.
Roughly 20 minutes from both Derby and Nottingham, with free parking directly outside the bays and the teaching studio.
Covered, floodlit bays from 7am to 10pm every day of the week, so your practice and lessons continue right through winter.
Golfers across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire rate the academy five stars for coaching, facilities and value for money.
The practice facilities here are second to none. I couldn’t of been more impressed, the grass range is an amazing touch and the track man bays are top notch as well, mats are perfect not worn, balls aren’t battered, great value for money, definitely my go to practice facility now.

I had a lesson with Will. He was attentive and planned an approach to how I could improve. After some practice the planned improvements paid off. Highly recommended.
★★★★★
Golf coaching with Will was a great experience. He helped progress my game using their Trackman technology and the driving range facilities to practice what I had been taught.

Will gave me good advice and made adjustments to my swing. Huge improvement in just one lesson, best £50 I have ever spent.

No. You can book an assessment directly with us and we take it from there.
We talk through your symptoms, carry out a clinical and movement assessment, then explain what is causing the pain or restriction and how we will treat it.
Your golf swing is assessed alongside your body, so treatment addresses how your swing mechanics and your symptoms are connected rather than treating them separately.
Usually, in some form. Your return to full rounds is planned with your coach rather than left to guesswork.
Not always. If a movement limitation is part of the picture we screen it and involve our strength and conditioning coach in your rehabilitation.
