Golf-Specific Assessment and Intervention

Any athlete knows that injuries can sideline them and keep them from doing what they love. We know the body is a complex system and dysfunction at any point could cause pain and injury in unpredictable ways. Identifying the dysfunction or leaks in the system and correcting them is the key to longevity and improved performance in sports. This course will first review the joint by joint model along with the skin brain connection. It will discuss the common golf injuries and how to assess for dysfunction as it relates to golf performance. We will explore novel approaches that incorporate tools you already own for faster recovery and better outcomes: myofascial cups, kinesiology tape, IASTM tools, and compression bands. You will leave this course with new tools and tactics that will address the most common complaints in golfers.

End of the Ice Age: A Modern Approach to Acute Care of Traumatic Injuries

by Mike Stella, ATC

Traditionally speaking, acute management of injuries and post-surgical trauma has been relegated to short-term swelling and pain control, and woefully neglects the sub-acute and chronic phases of healing. Additionally, these classic tactics often have deleterious effects on later stages of healing and perhaps need to be re-considered. This limitation is compounded by the apparent lack of psychosocial factors that influence pain, healing, and both short and long term prognosis. The goal for this course, is to understand fundamental physiological & psychosocial factors and provide evidence informed application of strategies and techniques aimed at optimizing the short term, with the long term in mind.
