Orthopedic Shoe Store, Foot Solutions of Estero, Helps Golfers Achieve the Perfect Golf Swing

Oct. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Fort Myers orthopedic shoe store, Foot Solutions of Estero, is now offering golfers a free foot analysis and pressure map reading in relation to their golf swing.  They also now have customized golf inserts that will help golfers in their quest to achieve the perfect golf swing. Below is a description of what the feet are doing during the full process of a golf swing…it almost sounds like the steps to Riverdance!

1.Place weight lightly on the balls of your feet, balanced between front and rear foot.
2.Slightly shift weight to the back of the foot.
3.Another shift back to the front.
4.Shift weight to inside of back foot (failure to do this results in the fatal “sway”!)
5.Front foot mildly rolls to the inside with front heel
6.Weight back to inside of rear foot
7.Rapid shift from back foot to forefoot, with outward movement of left foot
8.Heel of front foot comes down again & rolls outward, while rear foot rolls back to inside with heel lifting
9.Balanced rotating movement through ball of foot

"Needless to say,  feet play a huge role in the mechanics of the perfect golf swing," said Chris Cole, licensed Pedorthist and owner of Foot Solutions-Estero.  "Even if feet are perfectly healthy, a solid foundation is still necessary to support the balance needed for an effective swing.  Also, if you’re experiencing any foot pain, it can completely throw off your balance and hinder your swing."

Foot Solutions of Estero can create custom Biomechanically Molded Golf Arch Supports that will build a solid foundation to help golfers achieve the perfect golf swing and correct any foot problems that may be hindering their swing.  The inserts help professional and amateur golfers perform the correct swing by strengthening and toning muscles, as well as helping balance during the approach, stance, swing phase and follow-through.
