The Golf Performance Adjustment System™

The Golf Performance Adjustment System™

Andrew Robson Golf Chiropractor

A Chiropractic System for Assessing and Improving Golf Performance Through Joint Function and Neurology

Fix The Body, Transform the Swing!

1. Core Principles

– CNS control of movement
– Role of joint mechanoreception
– Why specific dysfunction ≠ visible in active screens

2. Motion Palpation Framework

Regions:

Beginner Level (This Seminar)
– Hip / pelvis (rotation engine)
– Thoracic spine (rotation driver)

Intermediate Level:
– Lumbar spine (stability vs compensation)

– Cervical spine (orientation + balance)

Advanced Level:
– Foot & ankle (ground interaction)
– Knee (control, not just hinge)

– Wrist, hand and elbow

For each:

What “normal” feels like
What dysfunction feels like
What it means for performance

“We don’t just observe movement—we assess the joints driving it.”

3. Linking Palpation to Swing Faults & Compensatory Pain Syndromes

– Pelvic restriction 

– Thoracic restriction

– Hip restriction

“Joint function dictates neurological output.”

4. Adjustment Model (Practical with Live Demonstration)

Region-by-region:

– When to adjust
– How it affects output

Emphasis:

– Specificity
– Intent
– Expected outcome
– Assess → Adjust → Re-Test Loop

“Change the input, change the movement.”

5. Clinical Integration

– Integrate into your Exam

– Build Care Plans

6. Marketing:

– Positioning to golfers
– Market to the golf industry
