Fitness – Finishing Your Swing in Balance
As a physical therapist, I believe that everyone should train balance starting as young adults. The benefits of training balance go far beyond the ability to avoid falling. Training balance can strengthen your neuromuscular system, improve the strength in your stability muscles and reduce the risk of injury. Balance is often not included in the […]

Fitness – Are Your Hips Limiting Your Golf Swing?
Reaching your full potential of movement during your backswing can have a huge impact on the power of your golf swing. It seems that the spine’s ability, or inability, to rotate gets too much credit for being a limitation to finding optimal range. If you find yourself struggling with power, or difficulty with swaying or […]

Drive Time – 2019 Jaguar F-Type P340
Given the lack of new car inventory and pre-owned models are still in major play, we decided to check out a blast from the recent past; a 2019 Jaguar F-TYPE P340 with only 14,000 miles. It’s one of my favorite rides. Occasionally, a blissful aligning of planets occurs in the car industry. This exquisite model […]
Fitness – Upper Body Stability
To perform a technically sound swing, the lower and upper bodies need to be able to disassociate from one another. For the lower body to disassociate, however, the upper body must be stable enough to support itself independently or it becomes nearly impossible for the club to return on the same impact plane line initiated […]
