Costa Health is proud to announce the opening of our new centre at the Clubhouse Marbella, bringing our expertise in chiropractic, osteopathy, sports massage, and advanced body movement analysis directly into a high-performance golfing environment.
Your Body Is Your Greatest Club
Golfers invest heavily in coaching, equipment, and practice. Yet one of the most important factors influencing performance is often overlooked: the body itself.
There is no single perfect golf swing. Every swing is shaped by what the body can physically achieve. Mobility, stability, control, and coordination all determine how efficiently and consistently a golfer can move.
If the body cannot access or control certain positions, the swing will always compensate. This is why understanding your body is the foundation of improving your golf.
Golf Body Movement Analysis in Marbella
Costa Health is one of the leading clinics in Marbella specialising in golf body movement assessment. With over 60 years of combined experience in human movement, our practitioners have extensive expertise in analysing how the body influences performance, efficiency, and injury risk in golfers.
Our advanced body movement analysis service gives golfers clear insight into:
- How their body moves during golf-specific patterns
- Physical restrictions limiting performance or consistency
- Asymmetries affecting power transfer and repeatability
- Areas for improvement to support a more efficient swing
Rather than forcing the body to adapt to an idealised swing model, our approach focuses on improving the body’s capacity to move effectively. When the body moves better, the swing improves naturally.
A Body-First Approach to Golf Performance
Many golfers focus entirely on swing mechanics, often repeating the same faults despite coaching and practice. In many cases, these limitations are not technical they are physical.
Our role is to identify what your body can currently achieve and where improvements can be made. By enhancing mobility, control, and movement efficiency, golfers can develop more consistent, repeatable performance.
Quick Tip: If you find yourself making the same swing error repeatedly despite coaching input, consider having your movement patterns assessed. Physical restrictions are often the root cause of persistent technical faults.
This approach supports both performance enhancement and injury prevention – particularly relevant for the back pain and shoulder complaints that commonly affect golfers.
For a deeper look at how posture shapes your swing, see our guide to C and S-shaped postures in golfers, and our article on thoracic and pelvic movement in the golf swing.
Multidisciplinary Care at the Clubhouse Marbella
Our new collaboration with Peter Gustafson Academy at The Club House brings a fully integrated approach to body care and performance, with services including:
- Chiropractic care
- Osteopathy
- Sports massage
- Golf body movement assessment
- Movement-based performance support
- Combined golf coaching from Peter Gustafsson Coaches
This range of expertise allows us to support golfers at every level from those managing pain or restriction, to those seeking marginal performance gains.
We also treat non-golfers. Our understanding of human movement applies equally to individuals experiencing back pain, neck pain, or sports injuries, as well as those who simply want to move and function better.
Quick Tip: Back pain is one of the most common complaints among golfers. Rather than managing symptoms alone, our practitioners work to identify the underlying movement patterns contributing to pain and address them directly alongside your coach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer at your Clubhouse Marbella clinic?
We offer chiropractic care, osteopathy, sports massage, and specialist golf body movement assessment through our Pro-Motion Golf system. Our focus is on improving how your body moves, reducing pain, and helping golfers perform at their best.
What is golf body movement analysis?
Golf body movement analysis assesses how your body’s mobility, stability, and control influence your golf swing. Rather than analysing swing mechanics alone, we evaluate the physical capabilities that shape your swing and identify areas that may be limiting performance or consistency and relate this to your swing.
How can body movement assessment improve my golf?
Your body determines how efficiently and consistently you can swing the club. By improving mobility, stability, and movement control, golfers often experience better consistency, increased power, and reduced injury risk.
Do you work with amateur golfers or only professionals?
We work with golfers of all levels, from recreational players to elite and competitive golfers. Whether your goal is to reduce pain, improve consistency, or optimise performance, understanding your body is the first step.
Can treatment help if I have back pain from golf?
Yes. Back pain is one of the most common issues in golfers. Our chiropractic, osteopathy, and sports massage treatments aim to reduce pain, improve movement, and address the underlying causes rather than simply managing symptoms.
What is the difference between chiropractic and osteopathy?
Both chiropractic and osteopathy focus on improving how the body moves and functions. Chiropractic care often focuses on spinal movement and nervous system function, while osteopathy takes a broader approach, assessing muscles, joints, and overall body mechanics. Both are effective and often complementary.
Do I need to be in pain to benefit from an assessment?
No. Many golfers seek assessment to improve performance, efficiency, and consistency rather than to treat pain. Identifying and improving physical limitations can help prevent injuries and support long-term performance.
What happens during a golf body movement assessment?
We assess mobility, stability, posture, and movement patterns specific to golf. This helps identify restrictions, asymmetries, and areas for improvement. You will receive clear feedback and guidance on how to address what we find.
How experienced are your practitioners?
Our team has over 60 years of combined experience in human movement, chiropractic, osteopathy, and performance care. We specialise in understanding how the body influences golf performance and physical health.
Where is your clinic located?
Our centreis located at the Clubhouse Marbella, in the heart of the Costa del Golf. This allows us to work directly within the golfing environment and provide convenient access for golfers and members.
Do you only treat golfers?
Not at all. While we specialise in golf body movement and work with many golfers, our expertise is in human movement. We treat individuals from all backgrounds, whether you are experiencing back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, or simply want to move and function better. Our approach – identifying the underlying causes of pain, restriction, or inefficiency – applies equally to golfers, athletes, and non-athletes alike.
