Speaker Bio
Andrew Robson graduated from WIOC in 2013 and has played golf since 1990. He founded Droitwich Back & Neck Clinic in January 2016 (www.droitwichchiro.com). Based on a golf course, Andrew regularly treated golfers from the very beginning and observed the most effective ways to help them improve their game as well as get them out of pain. The Golf Performance Adjustment System™ is the culmination of ten years of experience and knowledge using the chiropractic adjustment to improve the golf game. He has conducted a large amount of study of the research into the biomechanics of the golf swing as well as completing level 1 of the Titleist Performance Institutes Certification Program. Andrew has also studied motion palpation adjustment skills under Dr Leonard Faye for almost ten years and taught adjusting skills as part of the Enchiridion Chiropractic Training team between 2022-2025. He also served on the Board of the United Chiropractic Association from 2020-2023.
