Pliability Fitness App Review
Fitness and health within professional golf has certainly become more evident in recent years, with players realizing the importance of looking after their bodies in order to play at the highest level for longer. As golfers we put a tremendous amount of stress on our body, especially our back, knees and wrists and consequently we pick up injuries from time to time. Well now, thanks to Pliability, you can access a platform that allows you to carry out stretching routines that can help prevent injury, all from the comfort of your own home.

It’s important to note that this app is ‘Built for athletes’ and many of the brand’s ambassadors come from different sporting backgrounds. Lee Westwood is the main ambassador from a golf standpoint and I’m sure the mobility routines available via the app are what helps him perform his best when travelling on the road.
