What is the Golf F.I.T. Program?
This program was designed by Scott Miller, who is a Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Sports Physical Therapy and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, in collaboration, to work in collaboration the golfer and their teaching professional. The premise of this program is to perform a comprehensive musculoskeletal evaluation of the golfer, looking at range of motion, strength, flexibility and neuromuscular recruitment patterns specific to the golf swing. With the information from the evaluation, develop a functional program that will be integrated with the drills and instructions of the teaching professional or coach.
Basically, the goal of this program is not to change your swing mechanics, but to get your body into the position that the teaching professional wants you in, to achieve the desired swing. Our expertise is in musculoskeletal assessment, while the teaching professional’s expertise is in swing mechanics. Collaboratively, we are able to provide any golfer with an optimal golf swing for each individual’s golfing needs and goals.
