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.

MGNMPC will perform scenes from "John Brown: Trumpet of Freedom" co-written and performed by Norman across the U.S. and overseas. In this solo play, Norman played al 31 characters for which he won rave reviews. We will perform as a staged reading some of those scenes. And a staged reading of Thornton Wilder's one-act play, "Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden". Come celebrate theatre and Norman's incredible contributions as an artist and human with us. There will be a talk-back after and refreshments will be served.
