Jessica Curran, DPT, clinical manager, Outpatient Therapy, and Oliver Rivera, master physical therapist, Adaptive Sports and Fitness Center, were recently featured in a segment on , highlighting Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91¡¯s Adaptive Sports & Fitness Center.
¡°At this center, we are lucky to host three different areas: physical therapy, adaptive sports and functional fitness,¡± said Jessica. ¡°All these different groups collaborate with each other. By having physical therapy housed within this building here, we¡¯ve been able to create a lot of new programs such as the Golf Performance Program.¡±
Then, Oliver demonstrated this program¡¯s Golf Performance Assessment.
¡°We analyze a golfer¡¯s swing, looking at things like their mobility using a Titlist Performing Institute Screen, using slow-motion video analysis. And then, we look at their overall mobility, strength and power,¡± he said. ¡°From that, coupled with the physical history of that person, we can create a great plan to not only improve their performance on the course, but also their longevity on the course.¡±
Jessica and Oliver finished the segment with a demonstration of simple exercises to help prevent injuries during summertime activities.
