NeuroTexas Institute at St. David’s HealthCare To Host Free Seminar to Address Ailments Commonly Found in Frequent Golfers

11/3/2009 12:00:00 AM

AUSTIN, Texas—NeuroTexas Institute at St. David’s HealthCare will host a free seminar to help golfers stay on course and prevent back pain. Back injuries are one of the most common ailments found in frequent golfers because the torque generated in the golf swing windup and follow-through places a lot of stress on the lumbar spine.

The seminar will help golfers establish a stretching regimen before and after a round of golf, and understand proper body mechanics of a golf swing. Additionally, it will address postoperative recovery periods and activity limits for the most common spine surgeries.

The first seminar will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2009, from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. at Golfsmith, located at 11000 North IH-35 (Braker Lane at IH-35) in Austin. This seminar, which will feature Dr. Michael Webb, neurosurgeon and executive medical director of NeuroTexas Institute at St. David’s HealthCare, is open to the public.

Golfsmith, the co-sponsor of the event, will provide each attendee with a complimentary bucket of balls to use on the indoor driving range that day.

An additional seminar will be held on Friday, November 20, 2009, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the Sun City Texas Community Association French Room, 2 Texas Drive, Georgetown, TX. Golfsmith will be providing each attendee with a complimentary girft card for use in their stores. This seminar will feature Dr. Michael Webb, along with physical therapists, Kay Taylor and Josh Escue.

To register for either of these free seminars, call 512.544.9000.
