At the PGA Golf Clinic, the aim is to help players develop a way of moving that reduces the risk of injury and takes existing physical problems into account. In collaboration with the Cologne Golf Club’s “Golf and Health” team, an individualized, biomechanically optimized movement pattern is developed for each player.

Heute, fast fünf Jahre nach der Operation, habe ich abgesehen von gelegentlichen Schmerzen durch verspannte Muskeln keine Beschwerden mehr und kann mein Leben nahezu uneingeschränkt genießen.
From Chronic Pain to Total Freedom: Why an Engineer Chose Dr. Desai for Artificial Disc Replacement
Today, nine years later, I am doing wonderfully. Thanks to that surgery, I live a pain-free life. I engage in strength training, running, swimming, and squash. I go hiking and travel the world with a backpack—doing everything I want to do without limitations.
More than five years after the surgery, the patient is living an active and fulfilling life again. The debilitating nerve pain that once dominated everyday life is gone, mobility has been preserved, and long periods of sitting, traveling, hiking, and physical activity are once again possible. Follow-up imaging confirms that the ESP-LP artificial disc remains well positioned and that the adjacent disc is healthy.
I could have had surgery for my L5/S1 in the United States had I pushed for it … instead chose to have Dr. Desai fix my back.
I coped very well with the surgery. The intensive care in the days following was excellent. After three days, with the support of the physiotherapist, I was able to stand up with a walking frame and take my first steps. I was discharged home on the sixth day after the surgery.
