Play Golf Pain-Free With The Robust Protocol

A research-backed system designed to help you move better, increase clubhead speed, and add years to your golfing career- without spending hours in the gym

Is Pain, Stiffness, or Lack of Strength Holding You Back on the Course?

Do you finish a round feeling stiff, sore, or completely drained?

Are you losing distance off the tee, even though your technique hasn’t changed?

Does your body feel like it's getting in the way of playing your best golf?

Have you tried stretching, foam rolling, or YouTube workouts without seeing real results?

Ignoring These Issues Only Makes Things Worse.

At first, it’s just a little tightness or occasional discomfort. But over time:

  • Stiffness turns into chronic pain.
  • Your swing mechanics suffer as your body compensates for limitations.
  • You lose clubhead speed and distance, struggling to keep up with your game.
  • Eventually, your body forces you to cut back—or stop playing altogether.

But that doesn’t have to happen.

Just a few hours of structured training per week can improve mobility, build strength, and eliminate pain, allowing you to play your best golf for years to come.

That’s why I created The Robust Protocol—a simple, research-based system designed to build a stronger, more resilient body that not only helps you play better now but also keeps you on the course for the long haul.

Why I Built The Robust Protocol

When I first started working with golfers, my primary focus was sports medicine—addressing joint mobility, balance, and movement control, guided by my background in kinesiology and rehabilitation.

I believed optimizing movement mechanics was the key to reducing injury risk and improving performance. And for many golfers, this approach worked—they moved better and felt better.

But as I worked with higher-level players, I started to see a gap in the traditional approach:

✔ Pain-free movement alone wasn’t enough—golfers needed strength and power to reach their full potential.

✔ They weren’t seeing significant gains in clubhead speed—even when mobility and movement quality improved.

✔ Their bodies weren’t as resilient as they could be—some still struggled with fatigue, overuse injuries, or lacked the power to generate consistent ball speed.

A foundation of healthy movement is critical—but eventually, you need to put some horsepower behind it.

That’s why I started refining my approach—placing a greater emphasis on strength and power  development to help golfers move beyond just injury prevention and into peak performance.

Salvador Rocha, Professional Golfer
"All I can say is the program has been absolutely life changing for me. Before Robust Golfer I had constant hip and back pain to the point of not wanting to play golf anymore. Almost from the day I started the program I could feel results. After going through the program totally, I am able to play constantly with no pain and I have gained distance."

  • "Before starting the program I had significant knee and back pain from golfing L5/S1 disc herniation. After completing 12 weeks, my back has been so much more flexible, I've eliminated any knee pain, and have developed much more hip mobility than before.

    Because of my new found mobility I was able to finally develop a natural in-to-out swing and play the best golf of my life (shaved 4 stroke off my handicap) and pain free at that"

    Chad Davis

  • "In the last year I've added approximately 45 yards with my driver and about 25 yards per club with my irons. Big, big changes!!"

    Dennis B.

  • "I can now make a full and complete turn on the backswing which has had a dramatic effect on my distance. My clubhead speed was measured at 109 mph. Not bad considering I'll be 62 in a few weeks"

    Paul Murray

  • "This program has allowed me to not only gain the speed and distance I needed, but also got rid of 95% of the aches and pains. The program is simple enough that I can easily do it from home or when I'm traveling for golf and business"

    Fredrick Taggart, Lancaster Golf Academy

  • "My experience with Thomas has been nothing short of life changing. I was struggling with low back pain that was dictating my day-to-day activities, as well as my hobbies. As a golfer I assumed low back pain was just part of the game. Thomas gave me the tools and ambition I was struggling to find on my own, or with other training programs. In just two short months I was on my way to pain free life, and golf game!"

    Cliff Oppegaard

  • I can't recommend Thomas and his program enough! After a microdiscectomy and hip repair, I could barely get through a round. Now I'm able to play several times a week without pain and I'm plating the best golf of my life!"

    David Horlander

  • "My swing speed has increased from 103 mph to 116 mph and it feels almost effortless. Thanks to this program I have a lot more confidence in my game and I'm having a lot more fun"

    Jim M.

  • "My back was so bad that I could barely swing a golf club. Years of sports injuries finally caught up to me. Within a week of starting the program, I was playing golf again. Within a month, my swing speed was back to 115 and I was playing multiple times a week."

    Jeff S.

  • " I had an ongoing shoulder problem for over a year. After a month of the program I'm now back to playing golf pain free!

    It's made my life so much easier, being able to put clothes on and work is easier than the previous year. Being able to sleep at night without pain is the best feeling! Thank you Thomas!"

    Mr. L

  • "I am 52 years old with a 1 handicap and a history of back problems. This program has improved my mobility and relieved my pai, improving my golf game and quality of life at the same time. The videos are very well done and time efficient."

    Frank Majors

  • "Back surgery had me feeling down and out. I thought I would never feel normal again.  Thanks to Thomas I have never felt physically better."

    Bryan Montgomery

  • "I started working with Thomas with an aim to help with different injuries I was experiencing and also improve my movement for golf. In a short period I have found myself injury free for the first time in the last two years and generally feeling better day to day.

    I'm also seeing the benefits on the course. Increasing my flexibility and strength has led to a consistent 7-8 mph improvement in driver clubhead speed. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

    Steven J. Clements

  • "After suffering catastrophic injuries from a rock climbing accident, I felt like my progress in recovery had stagnated and my physical job was becoming more difficult to manage.

    Thomas helped me in a big way, identifying muscular imbalances that were exacerbating my aches and pains, and giving me the tools I needed to correct those imbalances. This allowed me to return to work mostly pain free, and provided me with greater functionality in day to day life."

    Chris Sillars

  • "Thomas has helped me tremendously through recovery of low back pain, a broken elbow, shoulder surgery, and a ruptured posterior tibialis.

    I can not think of anyone I'd rather entrust with the care of my back, or any other musculoskeletal issues, than Thomas Malchow. He is very well trained with years of experience and many cases of successful treatment of pain patients. His sessions are engaging and he makes them fun as well."

    C. David Miles, DMD

  • "Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such an effective training program. My body has never felt so good. It just feels like my muscles are working together instead of against each other."

    Chandler Christensen

  • "I first heard Thomas on Mark Immelman’s podcast, and his take on back pain and golf made perfect sense.

    Struggling with low back pain, I started working with him in 2019 and was immediately impressed. As a retired surgeon, I enjoy our sessions and his detailed video cues. His programs have improved my health—and added 15 yards to my drives!"

    Mike Sible, M.D.

  • "As a freestyle skier, I fractured my L5 twice in 2 years. After the second injury, I was bedridden for 3 months and told I’d never ski again.

    Traditional rehab failed, but Thomas changed everything. In weeks, my pain eased; in months, I walked 10 km. After 2 and half years of hard work with Robust Golfer, I was skiing again without limits. I’m very thankful to Thomas and can't recommend him highly enough."

    On the course, increased flexibility and strength boosted my driver clubhead speed by 7-8 mph. I highly recommend him!"

    Steven J. Clements

  • "After a rock climbing accident, my recovery stalled, and my physical job became harder.
    Thomas identified muscular imbalances causing my pain and gave me the tools to fix them. Now, I’m back to work mostly pain-free and moving better in daily life."

    Chris Sillars
