At Links Health & Performance we believe in “Building the Body Behind Your Swing”. Two ways to play better golf, built around how your body moves. SwingLAB builds your best swing and body together. LinksPRO builds the speed and performance that lower your handicap. Not sure which suits you? Book a free call and we’ll point you the right way.
A detailed look at how your body and your swing work together, with a plan to improve both.
Best for golfers who want to understand and improve how they move and swing, including anyone with pain, stiffness or an injury history.
Strength, power and speed are the big drivers of distance and a lower handicap. LinksPRO trains your body to produce them. It does not change your swing mechanics.
Best for golfers with a sound swing who want more speed, more distance and lower scores.

It’s a short chat about your game, any aches or injuries, and what you want from your golf. We’ll tell you which service suits you best, so you can book with confidence. It isn’t an assessment, just a conversation to point you the right way.
Send us your name, phone number, handicap range, goals and any pain or injury, and we’ll be in touch.
Led by Kristopher Sanford (ASCA-certified strength and conditioning coach and TPI-certified osteopath) and Bryce Harry (TPI-certified physiotherapist).
SwingLAB looks at how your body and swing work together and gives you a plan to improve both. LinksPRO builds the strength, power and speed behind your game and retests them every 12 weeks. SwingLAB is about your movement and swing. LinksPRO is about performance.
It runs in three phases, with your tailored exercise plan across all 12 weeks. In weeks 1 to 3 (Move) you build good movement in the areas your assessment found limited. In weeks 4 to 6 (Control) you learn to control that movement. In weeks 7 to 12 (Sequence) you bring those changes into your swing, so your body and swing work together. Follow-up sessions around weeks 3, 6 and 12 keep you on track.
Start with SwingLAB. It is a more detailed assessment, and your plan is built around improving how you move alongside your swing.
No. LinksPRO trains your body, not your swing mechanics. Keep working on technique with your golf coach.
Yes. A common path is SwingLAB first, then LinksPRO. If you are happy with your swing and your body and just want to improve performance, you can go straight into LinksPRO.
No. Both services suit golfers of any handicap. What matters is your goal: understanding and improving how you move and swing (SwingLAB), or building speed and power (LinksPRO).
No. You can book directly.
TPI stands for Titleist Performance Institute, a golf fitness education organisation. Our practitioners Bryce Harry and Kris Sanford have completed TPI certification, which trains them to screen how a golfer moves (mobility, stability, balance and strength) and to link physical limitations to swing faults and injury risk. At Links HP it is part of both the SwingLAB assessment and the LinksPRO golf performance assessment.
ASCA is the Australian Strength and Conditioning Association, the national professional body that sets standards and accreditation for strength and conditioning coaches. Kris is an ASCA-certified strength and conditioning coach, so the strength and power side of LinksPRO is programmed by someone trained in loading, progression and technique rather than a generic gym plan.
ForceDecks are dual force plates made by VALD that you stand or jump on. They measure how much force you produce, how quickly you produce it and how evenly it moves through each leg, along with balance. For golfers this shows power and left-to-right differences that are hard to see by eye. We test at the start of LinksPRO and retest every 12 weeks, so your progress is measured rather than guessed.
DynaMo is a handheld VALD dynamometer that measures strength at a specific joint or muscle group, such as shoulder rotation or hip strength, in a consistent way. It lets us compare one side to the other and track changes over time, so your program targets the areas that need work.
