# Return to Golf Program: Bridging the Gap between Rehabilitation and the Golf Course
May 08, 2023
Golf is considered a low-risk injury sport that is enjoyed by ~66 million people world wide. Injuries do happen though. Investigators have found that 16-41% of amateur golfers get injured each year, while the lifetime injury rate ranges from 25-68%.
## When most golfers experience an injury they usually do one or more of the following:
- Take a break from golfing
- Play through pain with compensations to swing/body
- Go see their Primary Physician or Orthopedic Physician
- Complete traditional physical therapy
Golf physical therapists and TPI professionals have found that many golfers are unsure of when to safely return to the golf course! Whether golfers took a break or got discharged from traditional PT, many lack confidence that they are safe to play, still feel limited when playing and are worried about re-injury.
