Recover Your Golf Swing After Surgery: Occupational Therapy

FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers

Is shoulder stiffness, wrist pain, or a weak grip keeping you off the course? After surgery or injury, even simple movements can feel frustrating let alone driving the ball down the fairway with confidence. Whether you are struggling to return to golf, daily activities, or both, an Occupational Therapist (OT) can help you rebuild strength, mobility, and confidence in your upper extremity. At our Madison clinic, Occupational Therapy goes beyond basic rehabilitation. OTs specialize in helping people return to the meaningful activities that make life enjoyable—from dressing and cooking to hobbies like golf. Instead of a generic exercise program, your therapy is tailored to the exact movements your body needs to safely return to your swing. If you're itching to get out on the course, our OT will identify the movement limitations, weakness, or scar tissue that may be affecting your swing and create a plan designed specifically for you. You can even bring your own golf club into therapy sessions What does that look like in the clinic? Our OT will evaluate your hand placement, wrist mobility, shoulder movement, and coordination. If scar tissue, stiffness, or weakness is limiting your performance, therapy targets those exact problem areas. The goal is not just to return you to golf—but to help you swing more efficiently, reduce stress on healing joints, and improve your overall quality of life. How Occupational Therapy Can Improve Your Golf Swing and Daily Function: • Upper Extremity Re-education Improve strength, coordination, endurance, and fine motor control needed for golf and everyday activities. • Functional Swing Training Practice movements that mimic real golf mechanics to safely rebuild your swing. • Custom Splinting Protect healing joints and tissues while still allowing functional movement and participation in daily life. • Joint Protection Strategies Teaching you modified body movements to protect your surgical site, reduce joint stress and prevent injury.

Guilford Town Green

Shoreline Festival Celebrating 250 Years of Jewish Life in the USA
Guilford, CT — The 20th annual Shoreline Jewish Festival will take place Sunday, August 2, from 12–5 PM on the Guilford Green. The festival celebrates Jewish life in the USA as America turns 250 and features various styles of Jewish music, Jewish specialties and fair favorites (all kosher), a Jewish book sale, vendors and crafters, and children's crafts and activities.
Rabbi Yossi Yaffe, director of Chabad of the Shoreline and festival organizer, notes a connection between the annual festival and America’s 250th
birthday. “Celebrating Jewish life with a festival on the Green is a uniquely American experience. The Liberty Bell’s engraved words, “Proclaim liberty throughout the land,” comes from the biblical description of the Jubilee, a 50th
year marked by freedom. America is celebrating 250 years, or its fifth Jubilee. What a perfect time to give thanks for this country’s freedoms of expression, assembly and religion that let all of us practice our faith openly and joyously.”
This year's musical lineup features the NY Klezmer Series All-Stars, Yehuda and Noah Solomon of Moshav and Soulfarm, and the Mr. Shabbos Band.
The New York Klezmer Series Allstars brings together five exceptional musicians for a joyous celebration of klezmer—the vibrant musical tradition of the Eastern European Jewish tradition. Featuring New York Klezmer Series Artistic Director and founder Aaron Alexander on drums, co-founder Greg Wall on clarinet, Jordan Hirsch on trumpet, Ira Temple on accordion and Brian Glassman on bass, this all-star ensemble blends soulful melodies, spirited dance tunes, and sheer joy into a performance both rooted in tradition and irresistibly fun. Whether you are a lifelong lover of klezmer or hearing it for the first time, the NY Klezmer Series Allstars promise an unforgettable musical experience filled with heart, energy, and the unmistakable sound of celebration. 
Yehuda and Noah Solomon are brothers and musicians well-known in the world of modern Jewish music. Yehuda fronts Moshav and Noah fronts Soulfarm; together they helped pioneer a generation of Jewish rock. Raised in a musical family of American expats in Israel, the brothers unite those two traditions in their music. Hebrew words and Middle Eastern melodies meld with the American traditions of country, bluegrass and rock. Their music envelopes the audience in a high-energy, heartfelt celebration of life. 
The Mr. Shabbos Band features Josh Alpert on guitar, banjo, mandolin, trumpet, flute and bagpipes; joining him are Pesach Alpert on drums, Menashe Wagner on trombone, guitar and percussion, Mordechai Harris on bass, Benny Shwarcz on guitar and percussion and vocalist Eric Freeman. Together they play a unique mix of Jewish and biblical lyrics with country, bluegrass, and rockabilly. For the young and the young at heart, Mr. Shabbos leads an interactive sing-along that is guaranteed to get everyone up on their feet and dancing.
Artists and artisans will sell a variety of Judaica, jewelry, clothing and artwork. Books of Jewish interest will be available for sale for both children and adults. Festival-goers can choose from a variety of (kosher) fair favorites, including pulled beef brisket, hamburgers, hot dogs, falafel (an Israeli fried-chickpea specialty), grilled chicken schwarma, potato knishes, fresh mini donuts, cotton candy, sno-cones and more. Children's activities include inflatable bouncy fun, as well as Jewish-themed arts &amp; crafts projects.
Primary festival sponsor is Shoreline TMS &amp; Interventional Psychiatry. Other sponsors include the family of Mr. Matthew Evans in his memory, the Jewish Federation &amp; Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven, Gladeview Rehab &amp; Health Care in Old Saybrook and Renewal by Andersen of Southern New England.
Admission is free, but please register online. Food, crafts and vendor items are for sale. Artists can reserve a booth for the day for a fee of $85. To help sponsor this unique event, to reserve a booth, or for more information and to download the app, visit www.ShorelineJewishFestival.com. For anything else, please contact Rabbi Yaffe at (203) 533-7495 or chabad@snet.net.
