The purpose of this case study is to demonstrate a unique way of working with low handicap golfers looking to avoid surgery after two years of low back/sacroiliac pain (LBP/SIJP) and injury. This study used all encompassing treatment sessions each time the patient was seen, including lengthening, strengthening and creating power with less stress on the LB/SIJ region.
