If you’ve ever been to physical therapy before, you probably have a picture in your head. A busy clinic. Multiple patients at once. A quick check-in with your therapist before being handed off to a bike, heat pack, or exercise sheet—while the clock runs out on your session. Finish Line Physical Therapy is intentionally different. We believe physical therapy should be personal, active, and empowering. You’re not just another appointment on a schedule—you’re an athlete, a runne

Building Power, Longevity, and Precision Golf is often seen as a game of finesse, but strength plays a critical role in both performance and injury prevention. A powerful, efficient golf swing requires muscular strength, stability, and mobility—especially as we age. Strength training not only helps increase clubhead speed and accuracy but also reduces strain on joints, preventing common golf-related injuries. As physical therapists, we emphasize the importance of movement eff

Have you ever used Rest-Ice-Compression-Elevation ( R.I.C.E. ) to treat an injury before? If you answered yes, you’re not alone. R.I.C.E. was coined by Dr. Gabe Mirkin in 1978 as a treatment for athletic injuries, as ice provides great pain relief; it has been a standard treatment for athletic injuries and sore muscles ever since. But it turns out this may not have been the best advice after all, as both ice and complete rest have been proven to delay healing, instead of help

For many golfers, back pain after a round feels like an inevitable consequence of the game. But here’s the truth — it’s not bad luck, and it’s not just your age. More often than not, it’s limited mobility in key areas. When your thoracic spine (mid-back)  and hips  can’t rotate enough, your lower back ends up doing the extra work. The result? Inconsistent ball striking, loss of power, and that familiar post-round stiffness. The Power Chain in the Golf Swing A powerful, effici

What’s the Difference (and Why You Should Care) If you've ever hobbled into physical therapy with pain and a lot of questions, you’re not alone. One of the first things we help patients figure out is what exactly is injured  – and trust us, it’s not always the obvious answer. Three of the most common culprits? Sprains, strains, and tendinopathies. These are different types of injuries, even though they may feel similar. Understanding which one you're dealing with helps us (an

If you’ve ever dreamt of stepping into a freezer and stepping out feeling brand new… well, that’s basically the idea behind cryotherapy . Used by pro athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone trying to bounce back from a tough workout, cryotherapy is the practice of exposing your body to very cold temperatures (we’re talking sub-zero degrees ) for a few minutes to help kickstart recovery. Sounds a little wild? Maybe. But it works. what actually happens in a cryo session? You st

Golf is a sport that demands precision, control, and repetitive motion. While it may not seem as physically intense as other sports, golfers frequently experience injuries due to overuse, poor mechanics, or lack of proper conditioning. As physical therapists, we understand the importance of movement efficiency, injury prevention, and rehabilitation to keep you playing pain-free for years to come.

Breathing has become a hot topic for running & the fitness industry over the last year or so. There are a million different opinions on how someone should breathe, if you should focus more on nasal breathing for easy runs or if you should exhale when your foot hits the ground or maybe tape your mouth shut when you sleep. With so many opinions out there, it’s hard to know what to focus on.

As physical therapists, we emphasize the importance of movement, biomechanics, and strength in every sport—including golf.
