AQUATIC PERFORMANCE TRAINING
TOWNSEND TRAINING IS FOR EVERYONE
01
Golfers
Water Training is a great way to help professional golfers increase their power and strength, while minimizing the chance of injury.
WHAT WE DO
We provide an on-site certification program, delivering hands-on training to staff members. Our patented, one-of-a-kind aquatic strength training program will deepen the knowledge of your trainers, attract new populations to your programs, and give you an edge over your competitors.
WHERE WE SHINE
Golf Performance
Water-based training provides balanced muscle resistance in all directions, and when paired with land-based strength and gait training, it can be a powerful tool for building core muscle strength, cardiovascular fitness, and mastering golf-specific movements such as long-drives.
​
The Townsend Training Method focuses on specific rotational movements, which improves body mechanics and builds balanced muscle strength, allowing you to rip the ball off the tee and increasing your chances for making birdies.
Rehabilitation
Whether you're getting back into competitive form after an injury, or recovering from surgery, aquatic training can quicken the healing process.
​
The combination of hydrostatic pressure and active motion in the water has been shown to improve the body's ability to recuperate.
When done in water, a therapeutic alternative such as walking or running boosts blood flow, reduces swelling, and rejuvenates your body.
Healthy
Aging
You become more susceptible to muscle pain and blood disorders as you age, but water training can help. Aquatic training environments are especially beneficial when land-based exercise is not possible due to pain severity, poor bone density, disability, or other factors.
​
Water relieves body weight stress and provides resistance, which makes it ideal for gradual strength training. Additionally, water increases circulation to aching muscles and joints, and has a relaxing effect that interrupts the pain feedback loop.
