According to the National Golf Foundation, 25 million Americans play golf every year. Many of these people find their way into a rehabilitation facility, seeking guidance regarding an injury or improvement in the quality of their performance.
This single-day 8-hour course is for any rehab or training professional (physical therapist/PTA, occupational therapist/OTA, athletic trainer, or chiropractor) that is interested in working confidently with golfers of any skill level. The goal will not be for you to become a golf coach, but to stand alone as an expert in the evaluation of the capability of your patient or 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.
All participants will be individually responsible to ensure that the content included in this course is compliant with their state practice act.
