Want to Improve Your Golf Game?

Try a Physical Therapist Who's a Certified Golf Fitness Instructor.

A Special Interview with Marc Cubbision, PT of University Hospitals

by Michael Rinaldi, PT

"Marc is one of the few therapists I'd let evaluate & treat me. I know he's knowledgeable, skilled and cares about his patients and always does the right thing for them.

You can't go wrong with Marc."

Golf.

Just saying the word around some people makes their day, while to others... it's just another profane four-letter word.

Golf is undeniably a favorite leisure and recreational pursuit for people worldwide, from the occasional hackers, er, that is dabblers, to the enthusiast at any age and either gender.

The sport has changed in the past decade however as Tiger Woods emerged and changed the way golfers approached their game. Woods changed golfers' approach to golf not from a technical or equipment viewpoint, but from a fitness and physical enhancement viewpoint. He became the best golfer in the world by first becoming the hardest working golfer in the world in terms of overcoming his physical limitations.

Prior to Woods' emergence, improvements in one's golf scores occurred via adoption of a better club, better golf ball, or other technology. However, Woods focused on enhancement of his physical fitness to improve his game, not having the most advanced clubs or balls. Woods trains hard on his cardiovascular fitness as well as strength, flexibility, and mobility.

Marc Cubbison, PT is a Certified Golf Fitness Instructor through the Titleist Performance Institute, of Oceanside California. The TPI uses research and databasing of various physical attributes of a person to determine what their impact on a golfer's swing will be.

Cubbison says it is a science in and of itself.

He says, "For instance, if somebody has restricted hip internal rotation and shoulder external rotation with other signs, then I know what their malfunctional swing pattern will look like and how they'll hit ball, without ever seeing them even take a swing with a club."

Marc says that the TPI has a database of the physical characteristics of over 10,000 golfers and statistical analysis of certain movement disorders nearly consistently lead to precise predictions of where a golfer's problems lie. Being a physical therapist, Marc knows easily how to test and identify those movement disorders and how to write up a program for a golfer to correct them.

The results are nothing short of astounding.

He adds, "The golf swing is built on the physical limitations of the golfer. Our current approach is to do a functional screen to determine a person's physical limitations. This provides a reliable estimate of their swing." From there, the golfer can work with the PT, the golf pro &/or their personal trainer to correct the dysfunctional swing pattern by correcting their inherent limitations and movement disorders.

Marc does personal evaluations and consultations on a private and appointment-only basis.

Having worked with dozens of therapists since 1993, and lecturing to even more from coast to coast, I can honestly say that Marc is one of only a few therapists I've met that has an accurate viewpoint on movement disorders and is a capable, knowledgeable therapist, worthy of opinion.
