⛳️ The 125th U.S. Amateur Championship is happening this weekend at The Olympic Club — one of golf’s most storied venues and the perfect stage for the oldest USGA tournament, born out of a controversy in 1895 that led to the founding of the itself.

From legends like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods to today’s rising stars, this championship has defined greatness.

Heather will be on of the clinicians on the Performance and Recovery team for the championship, providing hands-on care to help these players compete at their highest level. 💪🏌️‍♂️

🧠💪 Strong Muscles, Sharp Minds 💪🧠

📊 Large-scale studies show:
• Lower grip strength = higher dementia risk
• Higher strength & muscle mass = younger brain age, better memory, and more resilient brain structure

✅ Even after accounting for age, genetics, and activity level, stronger individuals consistently show better cognitive function and executive performance.

Why? Muscle talks to the brain—through myokines, reduced inflammation, and better mitochondrial function.

🏋️‍♂️ Bottom line for athletes, clinicians, and aging adults alike:
Train strength not just for performance, but for your mind.

There are no secrets to success.

If you move better, you'll feel better, enabling you to lead a more fulfilling life, on your own terms.

A strong clinician serves as a liaison for their patients, connecting them to the appropriate resources to navigate their rehabilitation. By providing the tools necessary, a clinician can support their patient as they learn to perform at their highest potential.

We feel that striving for optimal physical performance, not simply functioning without pain, is something each patient deserves. It is our responsibility to help everyone we work with best navigate the ultimate course they have in mind.
