Every golfer knows the frustration of an injury – whether it’s a stiff back, sore shoulder, or something that just won’t go away. At Edinburgh Sports Injury Clinic ESIC, we’re here to help you recover, rebuild, and return to the course with confidence. And for a limited period until the end of November, you can save £5 on each new appointment you make with Christina Thomson, one of ESIC's expert therapists. This is an exclusive offer for BGC members only.

Founded in 2003 by June Lumsden – one of the first practitioners in Scotland to earn an MSc in Sports Injuries – ESIC has grown from a sports-focused clinic into a centre of excellence for people of all ages and activity levels. June’s earlier work with athletes shaped her philosophy: we don’t just treat the injury — we address the cause with targeted physio treatment, rehab, and education that supports your whole body for lasting results. That approach is at the heart of everything we do.

Why golfers trust Edinburgh Sports Injury Clinic
As you know, golf is a game of precision, balance, and fluid movement – but it also places unique demands on your body. The rotational forces of a golf swing can create strain in the lower back, hips, and shoulders, and without the right support, minor niggles can quickly turn into chronic problems.

“I had a great experience; everyone had a friendly face and there was very nice atmosphere. June was brilliant and after a couple of sessions my wrist injury had improved massively!” Jake Edgcombe, patient.

“Now that both sides of my core are working, hitting the golf ball feels way better — it goes higher, farther, and it’s just a joy to watch.” Alison Murchie, patient.

At ESIC, we combine state-of-the-art technology, expert physiotherapy, and personalised rehab to get golfers moving freely again. We invested in Real-Time Ultrasound scanning to improve your core – essential for golfers wanting better posture, stability, and long-term resilience.

How a strong core improves your golf game
Core training is essential for golfers at every level. A strong, stable core provides:
1. Improved swing power & speed – generate more rotational force for longer drives.
2. Better balance & stability – maintain control through your swing for consistent shots.
3. Enhanced posture – reduce back strain and optimise your technique.
4. Rotational flexibility – achieve a fuller, more fluid range of motion.
5. Efficient energy transfer – move power smoothly from your lower to upper body.
6. Reduced injury risk – protect the spine and pelvis from common golf-related injuries.
7. Improved endurance – maintain form and performance across 18 holes.
8. Greater accuracy & control – stabilise your swing for more precise ball striking.
