Golf: A Biomechanical Enrichment Program
Golf: A Biomechanical Enrichment Program
is a program geared towards area golfers which consists of
structural and functional examinations related to swing faults.
Under the guidance of a specially trained physical therapist,
each participant can choose to receive a biomechanical
evaluation of his/her golf swing mechanics through the use of an
evaluation tool known as the Functional Performance Model, thus
allowing the physical therapist the ability to assess and
educate the golfer regarding the possible movement dysfunctions
and swing faults. Based upon findings of the biomechanical
evaluation process, an individualized program is developed for
the golfer. Program components include a recommendation for
improving soft tissue and joint mobility; instruction in a home
stretching and strengthening program; instruction in
golf-specific exercise drills for coordination and balance; and
strengthening and endurance exercise.
