Services may include:

Fitness evaluations to assess a patient's general flexibility, strength, body, composition, posture and aerobic conditioning. Patients receive suggestions for exercises specific to their individual needs.
Evaluation of pain or discomfort during exercise or movement.
Bike fit assessments.
Golf swing assessments.

Over 65% of golfers experience back pain. The body moves within the physical limitations of weak or stiff muscles in order to complete the swing. A balanced exercise program can correct these muscle imbalances to restore normal motion. Studies have shown that exercise programs focusing on strength and flexibility increase golf club speed resulting in longer drives.
