Golf pain isn't always a golf swing problem.
It's usually a body problem showing up in the swing.

Restricted hips, a locked-up spine, poor single-leg stability — most golfers never get screened for what's actually driving their swing faults, their lost distance, or that ache in the low back on the back nine.
We're thrilled to welcome Dr. Mary Walsh PT, CSCS, and TPI Golf Professional to the Cape Concierge team.
She's spent her career helping golfers and runners move and perform pain-free — including co-creating the GolfStrong and Healthy Runners Programs at Spaulding Outpatient Centers, work that was featured on NESN. She's completed 60+ hours of Titleist Performance Institute training, works every season with PGA Project Hope supporting military veterans who golf, and has taught injury prevention sessions for the PGA of New England, running stores, and corporate wellness events across Massachusetts.
Her evaluations use video swing and gait analysis to pinpoint exactly what's limiting your performance or causing pain — then build a plan specific to the way you actually move.
