Feeling Up to Par: Medicine from Tee to Green

Recognizing the relative paucity of medical reports dealing with golf, this volume provides literature reviews, pertinent studies and investigations, and specific therapies. It includes not only advice on diagnosing and treating the most common injuries and illnesses afflicting golfers but also suggestions for preventive techniques (including the avoidance of some stressful swing styles) to ward off future pain and disability. One chapter offers guidance on handling medical needs that arise on the course. Other chapters discuss training and nutritional and psychological techniques that can help golfers of all skill levels achieve better results safely. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
