About this title

About the Author:

Dr. Michael Jaffe is the director of the Low Back Pain Clinic at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. He is also an athlete, a golfer, and a staff physician who has heard thousands of patients tell him that lower back pain is preventing them from playing golf. Dr. Jaffe has a credo: Motion is life. His belief that much of how we express ourselves is through our physical actions is emphasized in this book, which is designed to get people back doing what it is they love to do - golf. He has run marathons, participated in 100-mile bicycle races, Won a corporate relay bike race across the Unites States, entered triathlons, and climbed mountains such as Mount Kilamanjaro and Mount Rainer. He is an avid snowboarder and in-line skater. In his training for his many athletic activities, Dr. Jaffe discovered the wonders of functional training at about the same time he began playing golf. He immediately recognized that the muscle groups and skills that are strengthened in functional training are the exact same ones challenged by the game of golf. And he discovered that functional training is the perfect program for golfers with lower back pain. Dr. Jaffe is an experienced speaker and is on the Speakers Bureau for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Medtronic Neurological. He is currently lecturing on the subject of golf and back pain at U.C.L.A. and U.C. Davis, and San Diego Osteopathic Medical Association, National medical Conferences, as well as San Diego Fit Running Club. He has also spoken to regional Southern California Kaiser Permanente Primary Care Symposiums about golf and back pain.
