Stress and anxiety is estimated to affect over 19 million Americans. An estimated majority of all stress in the United States is caused by difficulties at school and work. Studies conducted by the American Institute of Stress and The American Psychological Association show that 66% of Americans would seriously welcome help in dealing with stress in their lives and that stress is not confined to adults only. More and more children and teenagers are becoming affected by stress every year. Physical therapy is an effective stress reducer and what better way, than to get out on the golf course and whack a ball around.
