Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Manipulation, Osteopathic
In brief
The purpose of the study is to investigate if osteopathic manipulative treatment (OTM) improves the golf swing of the participants. Study participants will be randomized into three groups, we will stratify by age and gender to make them as uniform as possible. One group will receive no intervention other than a 10-minute break between the pre and post measurements. A second group will receive a sham intervention where the doctor will pretend to give the participant OTM. The third group will receive real OTM. Participants will perform a sample of 10 golf swings pre and post intervention which will be measured by a golf simulator. They will also complete a brief health history and pre/post self-evaluation of their swing.
