“For several years bowling, golfing, and repeated lifting at home or work would trigger low back and sciatic pain. After many unsuccessful attempts at treatment, I finally tried a spine-strengthening program at AFSS. It has been very effective and it only takes 30-minutes a week! Now I rarely have discomfort and when I do, it is much less painful and subsides much faster. I recommend AFSS to anyone in need of spine or total body conditioning.”

“Before I started reconditioning my spine at AFSS, I could barely make it through a round of golf without serious back pain. Those days are gone! I recently played 90 holes of golf over a long weekend and even played a set of tennis after Saturday’s round with no back problems. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that using the MedX Core Spinal Fitness System at Appleton Fitness, Spine & Sport, Inc. has helped me immensely. Thanks!!

“The Core was an enormous help during my rehab after back surgery a few years ago. It is even more helpful now as it helps to reduce back pain, strengthens my core, and keeps me flexible enough to remain competitive. All golfers want to hit the ball farther and The Core not only helps with that, but also will keep you healthy enough to enjoy golf into your later years."

"As a practicing clinician utilizing the MedX equipment for the past 17 years, there has always been the thought that beyond medicinal uses, the equipment could be used for sports enhancement. For the past 12 years, we have assisted graduate and upper classmen students perform "research" using this equipment. We have proven that torso rotation can increase the club head speed in golfers. While we did not increase the speed of a pitched ball, to an athlete in the experimental group, they each felt they had more control on their pitches and had more stamina. We condition the women's golf team of a local university and have elected to forego the traditional college strength program setting due to the gains they make in the clinical setting.

"I have always suffered form a tight low back which has led to back pain the last few years. As an avid golfer, the last thing I wanted was back pain every time I played. Last summer I was in a car accident, which caused even more damage to my low back. The accident happened to be a blessing in disguise, as I finally made the commitment to improve/strengthen my back, which led me to the Core. Before the car accident I was taking golf lessons and the most frustrating part of the lessons were that I was physically unable to do the movements that my instructor was coaching me to do. Poor posture, little flexibility, and no endurance in my back lead me to give up on the lessons. After using the Core two times a week for three months, I decided to finish the lessons. My instructor could tell a tremendous difference after the first few swings. He was almost as pleased as I was because he now could teach me how to play golf without the physical obstacles of a bad back. In the first few rounds of golf since using the Core for 3 months, I increased my distance 20-30 yards and more importantly, I played two rounds in one day Pain Free. Before using the Core, I was averaging less than 240 yards on my drives, but last week I won a long drive contest with a drive of 292 yards."
