I now have to wear a brace on my left leg. I m glad to be back golfing. It s helpful and a real ego builder. I can swing and hit the ball. According to Doug Boleyn, Lead Recreational Therapist for Trinity Rehabilitation Services, golf is a great rehabilitative tool.
Golfing helps build endurance and improves motor skills as well as balance.
In addition, he added, golf therapy has a positive impact on self-esteem and helps patients return to an activity they enjoyed before the stroke or other health condition occurred. Trinity Rehabilitation patient Robert Bolt of Moline, agrees. Golfing at the simulator and out on the course helps strengthen my left side and shoulder. I missed golf. One of my goals was to get back to playing golf and get back to the normal activities I had done in the past.
