| Tiger Woods knows the importance of taking care of his knees. Just this past April, Tiger underwent his third knee surgery since 1994.

| As a Physical Therapist I often hear the question, “Can I play golf again?” Regardless of age, skill level or gender, everyone—especially here in Florida, where we can, fortunately, enjoy golf year-round—is eager to return to the sport. Many times these patients are recent recipients of hip or knee replacements.

You need to practice to develop feel and touch, but the long hours standing in a bent over position can weak havoc on your back, hips and neck.
