Biomechanical Integration Approach™ (BIA™) 

 

 

Biomechanical Integration Approach™ (BIA™) serves as the link by which those engaged
in Golf Instruction, Golf Performance, and Golf Rehabilitation may interrelate in a more
synergistic manner to serve the ever increasing population of golfers who participate with
a pre-existing array of dysfunctions and impairments ranging from a lack of conditioning to
those with medical and musculoskeletal deformities and conditions.  By "integrating" the
common languages of TGM with that of the science, health, and conditioning world greater understanding and insight into the "best practices" for each golf participant may be implemented as well as strong relationships, partnerships, and a sense of a "shared responsibility" for improving the ability and capability of today's golfer.

Key Features of BIA™:
Many new perspectives, concepts, terminology, and applications are introduced in this material.  The TGM text and vast catalog of golf science constructs by Mr. Homer Kelley remain the gold standard by which Dr. Matthew M. Rosman, GSEM explains the role of the human body in golf stroke participation and introduces many new and exciting concepts such as:

  • The Golf Baseline Position™
  • Terminology and Key Nomenclature
  • The Tent Model of the Planes™, The Three Centers of Rotation™, and Swing Mapping™
  • Concept-Pathway-Pattern™, The Convergence-Divergence Process™, and Fusion
  • Evaluating Golf Poses and determining Joint Actions, Associated Planes of Motion, and Major Muscles involved
  • Movement Allowance verses Movement Tolerance
  • The BIA 8 Point Alignment System™
  • Wrist Circumduction verses Forearm/Arm Motions
  • The Hub, The Cage, The Core, and The Foundation
  • The Mobility-Stability Relationship/Trade-off
  • Posture and it's Pivotal Prediction and Forecasting Role
  • Lumbar-Pelvic Rhythm, Scapular-Humeral Rhythm, and Shoulder-Forearm Rhythm
  • Pseudo-Circumduction
  • The Organization of the Nervous System and its key role in the BIA System™ 

How BIA™ differs from other "golf" biomechanics or "golf conditioning" programs:
BIA™ bases all education and material offered from Homer Kelley's Golfing Machine material.  The Golfing Machine has been the leader in golf instruction and has provided the most comprehensive collection of golf science and research information ever.  BIA™ is the first golf performance system to adjust the anatomical planes to the oblique orientation of the golfer while stationary and in motion.  This makes the evaluation of golf club pathway (stroke pattern) and golfer pattern of movement a simultaneous process by which relevant relationships between errors of execution in technique can be immediately related to golfer performance dysfunctions.  This merging of technique and performance are the basis of the TGM-BIA™ Fusion Programming Process.  Other key unique differences include:

  • BIA™ like TGM offers professionals many options and versatility in creating programming for golfers.  There is not just a single model or solitary defined pathway.
  • BIA™ separates performance from conditioning rather than approaching them as interchangeable.
  • BIA™ is based on a clinical and diagnostic system where the technique or science of golf is the basis by which evaluation of the golfer flows moving from technique to performance and finally to conditioning.  Exercise assessment should not be the primary method by which inferences about golf stroke management should be based.  Therefore, TGM technique is primary, BIA™ performance is secondary, and conditioning management is tertiary.
  • BIA™ establishes a uniform golf diagnostic language and professional verbiage that is common to all associated professionals.  With all professionals "speaking the same language" the golfer is able to receive the care, expertise, and sports specific instruction, treatment, performance, or conditioning that is complementary and not adversarial.
  • TGM strongly recommends registering for the BIA class approximately six (6) weeks prior to attending.  This will allow you time to receive the class materials and be properly prepared for class.
  • BUY AND SAVE WHEN YOU PURCHASE BIA LEVEL1 AND LEVEL2 TOGETHER.
