– Lower back pain (from rotational stress)
– Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
– Hip/glute imbalances, wrist tendonitis
– Mental stress (performance anxiety, swing yips)
**Dr. Mia’s Approach:**
– **Biomechanical Swing Analysis:** To correct asymmetries.
– **Tendon Rehab:** Shockwave therapy + eccentric wrist flexor strengthening.
– **Core Stability Programs:** Focus on transverse abdominis/obliques to protect the spine.
– **Mental Performance Coaching:** Breathwork, pre-shot routines, and neurofeedback training.
– **On-Course Assistance:** She provides real-time taping (kinesiology/rocktape) and joint mobilizations during tournaments.
**Preventative Care:**
– **“Golf Ergonomics” Workshops:** Teaching proper warm-ups (e.g., dynamic thoracic rotations).
– **Junior Golfer Programs:** Early injury prevention for young players.
