Golf Injuries

Are you a golfer? I am, so there's a special place in my practice for golfers and related injuries. Although there may not be as many traumatic injuries on the links, overuse syndromes, tendonitis, bursitis, strains and sprains (just to mention a few) often aggravate the golfing population.

As you know, there are over 25 million golfers in the U. S., and this number rises steadily on an international basis. In fact, Sports Illustrated states that golf is the fastest growing sport. But many people restrict or stop playing because of injury.

Interestingly, golfers will spend hundreds of dollars each year on new or improved equipment but will not invest any time or money in the most essential piece of equipment - their body. All golfers know too well that if the body's muscles and joints are sore or out of balance, this condition will undermine efforts to improve performance.
