Golf Injury Prevention Seminar

The ONS Foundation for Clinical Research and Education will present a Free Golf Injury Prevention Seminar. 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; physiatrist Halina Snowball, MD; Physical Therapy Laura Liebesman; as well as The Stanwich Club Head PGA Professional, Mike Summa. The physicians will discuss the most common injuries to the back, shoulder, elbow and knee. They will offer tips for staying injury free, information on the best techniques for treating common injuries and will suggest goals for pre-golf physical conditioning to optimize strength and flexibility. Mr. Summa will focus on the importance of proper equipment and how poorly fitting equipment may prompt compensating movements that can be injurious to joints and muscles.
