Introduction to Golf Rehabilitation and Performance: 90 Percent Mental, 90 Percent Physical

49

About the Course
According to the National Golf Foundation, 25 million Americans play golf every year.  Many of these individuals require rehabilitation at some point, seeking guidance regarding an injury or improvement in the quality of their performance.

The purpose of this course is to educate clinicians on the basics of golf rehabilitation and allow them to work confidently with golfers of any skill level.  The goal is for rehab professionals to become  stand-alone  experts in evaluating the capability of your client’s body and how it functions as they enjoy the game of golf.

This course will provide value for practitioners of all experience levels, from those who have never touched a golf club or set foot on a golf course to the seasoned professional.  It will include a thorough introduction to basic golf language and concepts, a review of the relevant anatomy and biomechanics, a novel approach to evaluation of the patient or client’s physical capabilities, and specific strategies to improve the neuromotor processes that promote recovery from injury and higher quality golf performance.
