Download or read book Phase 7 Swing written by Reeves Weedon and published by Mountain Lion Press. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not only a journey that explores new frontiers in golf instruction but also a trip back to the future. The author's treatment selectively culls and unabashedly embraces the swing instructions of legendary players such as Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus and pioneering instructors such as Percy Boomer, Homer Kelley and Harvey Penick, focusing on their swing techniques that in some way or another comply with the law of motion or other laws that govern the physical world in which we live. This book is different because it is based in great part of these laws of force and motion, thus achieving the authors goal. of having readers understand how the laws of motion are being harness in Phase 7 Swing instruction. This book is also unique because it draws heavily on the authors empirical observations and what he has learned during the thousands of hours spent teaching students.

Download or read book Weedon s Way The Pain Free Way written by Reeves Weedon and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With back injuries in golf rising, there is clearly a need to investigate and resolve the problem via the biomechanics of the swing, rather than researching the technology of the clubs. Having worked with scientists and doctors with a historical interest in innovation within sporting techniques, at Northern Michigan University, Michigan State University USA, and Sports Surgery Clinic (Dublin), we have discovered that compared to the modern swing our revolutionary Weedon's Way swing creates significant less torque between the thorax and pelvis without loss of performance. The Pain-Free Way: A Swing for Golfers with Bad Backs: In the modern swing, during the downswing the thorax accelerates whilst the pelvis decelerates. As a consequence, the thorax and pelvis act in opposite directions; massive torque is inflicted on the lumbosacral spine mainly at L5/S1. In the Weedon's Way swing the thorax and pelvis travel at similar speeds reducing the aforementioned torque. In essence we remove the axis tilt i.e. body's side bend on the downswing. In the course of my project I have collated and reviewed 17 years of scientific research papers relating to low back pain in golf. The solution common to all papers is to play/practise less whilst performing core strengthening exercises. There has never been an evidence-based alternative until now. 'Swing Weedon's Way - The Pain Free Way'.
Download or read book The Pelvis written by Enrico Marani and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical review of the pelvic sciences—past, present and future—from an anatomical and physiological perspective and is intended for researchers, medical practitioners and paramedical therapists in the fields of urology, gynecology and obstetrics, proctology, physiotherapy, as well as for patients. The book starts with a “construction plan” of the pelvis and shows its structural consequences. The historical background of pelvic studies proceeds from medieval and early Italian models to the definitive understanding of the pelvic anatomy in the Seventeenth century. During these eras of pelvic research, concepts and approaches developed that are illustrated with examples from comparative anatomy and from mutations, also with regard to the biomechanics of pelvic structures. Perceptions of the pelvis as an important element in sexual arousal and mating conduct are discussed, as well as attitudes to circumcision, castration and other mutilations, in its anthropological, social context. The anatomy and physiology of the pelvic wall and its organs as well as the development of these pelvic organs are covered as a prerequisite to understanding, for example, the spread of pelvic carcinoma and male and female bladder muscle function. Connective pelvic tissue is examined in its reinforcing capacity for pelvic structures, but also as a “hiding place” for infections. Innervations and reflexes relayed through the pelvic nerves are discussed in order to explain incontinence, sphincter function and the control of smooth and striated muscles in the pelvis. Catheters and drugs acting on pelvic function are described, and a critical review of alternative clinical methods for treating pelvic dysfunctions is provided.

Download or read book A Synopsis of Regional Anatomy written by Colin Hinrichsen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2008 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Synopsis of Regional Anatomy offers concise and essential knowledge on the human anatomy. Unlike other textbooks on anatomy, this book is arranged in regions rather than in systems. As such, it is more consistent with the prevailing approaches to clinical examination and regional surgery as well as directing attention towards the principles of body function and organization. It is divided into eight regions that can be studied either collectively or in isolation. Factual information is presented for typical areas defined by fascial compartments; muscles are described in functional groups; blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves of the area are discussed; and regional landmarks, their boundaries, and contents important in clinical examination are explained. Written in a format that encourages self-directed learning, this book will be a valuable reference for self-study and also as a guide for dissection in the laboratory."--BOOK JACKET.

The Natural Golf Swing will: - introduce you to your natural balance and rhythm - let you play consistently to your potential - allow you to enjoy a repeating swing - help you increase power and control with every swing According to champion golfer George Knudson, your swing is governed by laws of nature, and is subject to logical, physical fundamentals that are all too often ignored. By learning the simple principles outlined in this book, you will generate more powerful, accurate swings, reduce your score, and gain control over your game. Take advantage of Knudson''s more than 30 years experience on the pro circuit as he guides you step-by-step through the mechanics of the natural swing, from the important first step of maintaining proper balance through the backswing, down-swing, and finishing form. Extensive illustrations and drills help to clarify each step. Knudsen also shares his experience as a golfer on the tour, offering valuable insights into the roles that temperament and concentration play in winning.
Download or read book Advances in Technology Assisted Rehabilitation written by Andreas Kannenberg and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to a 2005 report of the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 1.3 billion people worldwide – 16% of the global population – experienced significant disability. This number has only been increasing due to population ageing and an increase in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. Rehabilitation addresses the impact of a health condition on a person’s everyday life, by optimizing their function and reducing the experience of disability. Rehabilitation ensures people with a health condition can remain as independent as possible and participate in education, work, and meaningful life roles. Global demographic and health trends, such as population ageing, medical staffing shortages, rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases, as well as continued consequences of conflict, injury and developmental conditions are placing increasing demands on the health care systems. The need for quality rehabilitation is rapidly growing, yet in many parts of the world this need is largely unmet.
