From the Articles:

Endurance Sports NW

“I'm quite excited to have the support of the center. The center has both excellent staff, headed up by PT Neil Chasan, and excellent equipment, namely the OptoJump and AlterG. These two machines are not relatives of C3PO, as you might think, but are tools for improving the quality of treatment offered at the center.”

A Burning Desire

“To lose weight, people need to exercise at or near their peak fat burning heart rate to improve their fat metabolism mechanics.”

Getting in The Swing

“Golf has physical demands too. The very act of striking a ball involves a violent torque that sets off a kinetic chain.”

Swing Into Shape

“Chasan’s logic is irrefutable: ‘The golf swing is an extremely athletic movement, so it makes sense to devote time to the muscles involved.’”

Golfers Who Exercise

“The way fitness expert Neil Chasan views it, your body is the 15th club in your golf bag. It's also a ‘club’ where a minimum of 15 minutes of work a week can pay huge dividends.”
