Loosen Up!

Back in July I wrote about my new experience & journey with yoga. It continues to be absolutely amazing to me both physically and spiritually! I learn new moves weekly that challenge my strength and flexibility every session!

As a golfer and a golf instructor, I have struggled with hip flexibility and strength. Yoga has helped me improve both and I am now beginning to properly articulate positions in my golf swing I once found very difficult to achieve.

However, the changes have been accomplished by two new disciplines . . .

I also want to share with you my experience with the Carolina Sports Clinic and Dr. Joshua Kollmann, MS, CSCS, NASM-PES. Dr. Kollmann is certified in Active Release & Graston in addition to being a chiropractic specialist. And, in August he spent a week in Greensboro, NC treating PGA Tour Professionals at the Wyndham Championship.
(As soon as I can get him to sit still for 15 minutes I'll get the full report on his experience and post it here.)

In addition to his practice, Dr. Kollman is cyclist and runner, competing regularly in Ironman competitions.

Wow, what a great compliment Dr. Kollman has been to my yoga practice. His various treatment techniques have kept my back pain-free for the first golf season in nearly 10 years! My range of motion has improved greatly and it has been much easier to be on a strengthening routine . . . I am loose and it feels great.
