Erica and Susan discuss in this podcast how treating the left hip as well as the left side of the low back, got rid of this young golfer’s knee pain. A functional and interactive evaluation really hones in on where the true source of his knee pain lies.

Assessing center of mass (COM) here is crucial. Think about golf, you don’t need a wide stance. Most of your patients will look different depending on how wide or narrow their stance is. Don’t miss it.
