What Is the K-Vest? How 3D Motion Analysis Can Elevate Your Golf Swing
At SB Physio, we’re always looking for ways to help athletes perform better, move smarter, and reduce injury risk. For golfers, one of the most powerful tools we use is the K-Vest — a wearable 3D motion capture system that analyzes and improves swing mechanics with precision.
🎯 What Is the K-Vest?
The K-Vest is a 3D biofeedback system that uses sensors worn on the torso, pelvis, and arms to track and train your golf swing in real time. It captures data on:
Rotational speed
Kinematic sequencing
Posture and spine angles
Tempo and transition timing
All of this is visualized instantly, giving both the clinician and the golfer deep insight into how the body is moving — and how to improve it.
🧠 Why It Matters
Most golfers have a feel for their swing — but what your body is actually doing often tells a different story. The K-Vest lets us measure the efficiency, sequencing, and control of your movements with objective data.
This allows us to:
Identify swing faults rooted in mobility or control issues
Train ideal sequencing to generate more power
Reduce your risk for swing-related injuries
Build customized drills based on your unique movement patterns
💬 My Approach to Golf Performance
As a physical therapist and lifelong athlete, I’ve worked with golfers of all ages and levels — from weekend warriors to competitive players. I hold certifications from:
Titleist Performance Institute (TPI)
Nike Golf 360 (NG360)
K-Vest 3D Motion Analysis
These systems all work together to give us a complete picture of your swing and body mechanics, allowing us to design a program that’s personal, measurable, and effective — whether your goal is to hit it farther or just play without pain.
🧩 Real-Time Feedback = Real Results
What makes the K-Vest different is biofeedback — it cues your body in real time when you hit or miss the right movement zone. This speeds up learning and helps you:
Rebuild your swing patterns faster
Improve swing consistency
Translate training into on-course performance
🏌️ Who Can Benefit?
K-Vest training is great for:
Competitive golfers chasing better performance
Amateurs with nagging swing inconsistencies
Recreational golfers looking to return from injury
Juniors building efficient swing habits early
Whether you're working through an injury, prepping for tournament season, or just want more power and control, K-Vest training can make a measurable difference.
