Golf instruction

As a sports physician, Titleist certified golf fitness instructor / golf biomechanist and united states golf teaching federation certified golf teaching professional, Dr. David A. Berv (director of Back In Action) has taken golf instruction to the next level.  Dr. Berv teaching methods use extensive golf specific physical testing along with state-of-the-art wireless technology - wireless sensors that attach to your shoulders, hips and hands, to determine your strengths and weaknesses. Then you are taught a set of customized, golf-specific exercises to establish more efficient swing mechanics.

The "3D motion analysis" technology   used in your evaluation is like taking an MRI of your swing.  Within seconds, you are able to see your swing in an animated fashion - in six different angles, i.e. face-on, down-line.  You also get immediate feedback in a summary format about your posture, alignment, hip and shoulder rotations, spine angle, sequencing and relative speeds of your hips, shoulders, and more - throughout your entire swing.

The other aspect of this technology is that you are able to work in what is termed a "live exercise mode".  While wearing the wireless sensors, you see an animated version of your torso and hips.  When you move, the model on the screen moves. 

There are several ways that you receive positive reinforcement on how to attain and maintain the most efficient golf postures and positions:

-You get visual feedback, as the red torso/hips (seen above in blue/white) turns to green when
 you get into the right positions / movements.

-You get auditory feedback, as you hear music when you get in the right positions / movements.

-You get kinesthetic feedback, as you experience the muscular sensations of being in the proper positions.

Some golfers simply want to experience the "wow" factor of this new technology.  It is impressive in itself and gives accurate, detailed information. These are typically one-session encounters.

Others want to be taught customized, golf-specific exercises, such as the example shown below, to create a more efficient golf swing.  These are done in two or more session programs.

The combination of the wireless sensor "live exercise mode", along with the exercise routines result in palpable differences in your golf game.  This can be tracked objectively over time from a 3D motion analysis perspective, and typically translates into increased distance, greater accuracy, better ball striking and less pain or stiffness during and after play.
