Are you tired of feeling like your body is holding your golf game back? You know you could hit it further and score better - if only your hips, shoulders, and back would cooperate. The frustration of knowing what you should do with your swing, but your body just won't let you, is real.
Host Colin Weston sits down with the mother/son co-founding duo behind GolfDr: Dr. Valerie De Maio (a physician with over 20 years of emergency medicine experience) and Dr. Chris Adamson (a TPI-certified golf physiotherapist).
Together, they reveal why personalized, golf-specific body work is the secret to not just improving your game, but sustaining it well into your 70s, 80s, and beyond. If you've ever been overwhelmed by the endless flood of golf fitness advice on social media or wondered why your body won't cooperate with your golf swing, this conversation is your road-map to a more enjoyable, longer-lasting golf life.

"Golf is rotational sport. But we do so much in our lives that are linear or very front to back, so we lose mobility in our ability to rotate."
- Dr. Chris Adamson
"If we can help people move better and hurt less, they'll enjoy playing more and be able to stay out there longer."
