The ONS Foundation for Clinical Research and Education will offer a golf injury prevention seminar to help players of all levels avoid common injuries so they can enjoy their sport to the fullest.  The program will offer practical tips on how to stay in the game- and out of the doctor’s office and will feature presentations by orthopedic surgeon James Cunningham, MD; Physical Therapist Laura Liebesman; as well as The Stanwich Club Head PGA Professional, Mike Summa. The speakers will discuss the most common injuries to the back, shoulders, elbows and knees, offer tips for staying injury free, information on the best techniques to treat common injuries and suggest goals for pre-golf physical conditioning to optimize strength and flexibility. Mr. Summa will focus on the importance of proper equipment and explain how poorly fitting equipment can prompt compensating movements that can be injurious to joints and muscles.  This Seminar is free.
