Golf is one of the most popular sports in the world played by people of all ages, physical abilities, and skill levels. Like any sport, regardless of skill level or how often you play, injuries will occur. Therefore, it is important to know how to keep your golfers healthy and enjoying their time on the course.

One key to treating the golfing population is to understand what the ideal motion in the golf swing is, and how that relates to the patient in front of us.
