Course Description
Golf is a game that is played by approximately 24 million
Americans and more than 55 million people worldwide. It is one of the few
activities that people of all ages and skill levels can play. The majority of
injuries in professionals come from overuse, while amateurs become injured due
to faulty swing patterns developed around physical limitations. In order to
treat this specialized population, clinicians need to be aware of the best
available assessment tools and treatment techniques for golfers of all ages and
skill levels. This course will address injuries unique to golfers as well as
strategies to address these injuries. Use of video analysis as part of the golf
evaluation will be emphasized during this course and integrated into
formulating a comprehensive treatment plan for both injury prevention and
performance improvement.
