How Good is Your Golf Mobility? Talking Golf Fitness, Longevity and Performance with the GolfDr

Welcome to The ModGolf Channel. Host Colin Weston talks with golf’s top influencers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and disruptors about their vision to re-imagine, transform, and grow the game.

Do you struggle with lower back pain, stiff hips, or losing clubhead speed no matter how many swing tips you try on the range?

I sit down with the mother-and-son founding duo behind Golf Doctor—Dr. Valerie DeVio and Dr. Chris Adamson. Together, they put Colin through a live mobility screen using MotionCore, their smartphone camera assessment technology designed to deliver Titleist Performance Institute (TPI)-caliber movement diagnostics right in your living room. Colin puts his own physical limitations on the line—the good, the bad, and the 17-degree hip turn—to show how assessing your body's mechanics is the real key to playing pain-free golf, dropping your handicap, and unlocking effortless power.

🩺 How Golf Doctor is democratizing golf fitness & mobility:

• The MotionCore "Big 4": How assessing internal hip rotation, torso turn, neck rotation, and shoulder mobility reveals the exact physical restrictions sabotaging your swing mechanics.
• The Hip Rotation Red Flag: Why golfers need 45° of hip internal rotation to prevent sway, slide, and chronic lower back pain (and why Colin scored only 17° on his trail leg!).
• The Hidden Importance of Neck Mobility: Why keeping your head steady requires 60°–70° of neck rotation around turning shoulders—and how tightness forces you into an early, power-sapping cutoff.
• The "Tiger Woods" Position & Fixing the Slice: How trail shoulder external rotation and tight lats dictate whether you can shallow the club on plane or cast over the top into a pull-slice.
• Bite-Sized, Hyper-Personalized Routines: How the app turns screen data into tailored 5- to 15-minute daily home corrective routines without requiring an expensive personal trainer.
