From the Publisher:
Many recreational and professional golfers suffer from some form of lower back pain. Conventional wisdom suggests that the violent, twisting nature of the golf swing, which puts undue stress on the spine, is the sole culprit. But research conducted by sports-medicine specialist Vijay Vad, M.D., with PGA Tour pros, recently published in the prestigious "American Journal of Sports Medicine," reveals that the swing is only one of several factors.
Applying Dr. Vads winning combination of mind/body wisdom and medical expertise to the game of golf, "Golf RX" shares his cutting-edge findings and addresses such topics as:
* The proper body mechanics for a stable golf swing
* Power tips to improve driving
* Eighteen essential stretches for eighteen holes
* Five-minute warm-up and cool-down routines
* Keeping an aging body in great shape
* Common golf injuriesand how to resume activity
* The Golf Rx exercise series
Combining the best of Pilates, golf-specific conditioning, and physical therapy, Dr. Vads easy to follow exercise program contains three series that will speed recovery from the most common golfers injuries, help reduce future injuries, and enhance performance by building swing specific flexibility, strength, stamina, and balance.

It's A Fact!
"In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes when you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase, 'Goodnight, sleep tight.' "
