Winter Garden & Windermere’s Go-To Golf Injury Specialist: Meet Dr. Ron Miller, DPT, OCS
If golf has started to hurt more than it helps, you don’t have to accept it as “part of getting older” or “just how the game is.” At Pursuit Physical Therapy in Winter Garden, Dr. Ron Miller, DPT, OCS is helping local golfers get back to pain-free rounds — by treating the actual cause of their pain, not just the symptoms.
Why Golfers Around Winter Garden and Windermere Trust Dr. Miller
Golf puts a unique demand on the body. A single swing asks your spine, hips, shoulders, and wrists to generate massive rotational force in a fraction of a second — thousands of times a season. When one part of the kinetic chain isn’t moving or stabilizing the way it should, something else pays the price. That’s how golfers end up with:
- Low back pain that flares up on the back nine
- Nagging shoulder or elbow pain (golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff irritation)
- Hip tightness that’s quietly killing your rotation — and your distance
- Wrist pain from compensating for restrictions elsewhere in the swing
Most golfers try to play through it, stretch a little, or rest for a week — and the pain comes right back the next time they’re on the course. That’s because rest and generic stretching don’t fix the underlying movement dysfunction that caused the injury in the first place.
Root-Cause Care, Not Just Symptom Relief
Dr. Miller’s approach is built around one core philosophy: find and fix the root cause. Instead of treating your shoulder pain as an isolated shoulder problem, he evaluates how your entire kinetic chain — thoracic spine mobility, hip rotation, core stability, and swing mechanics — is contributing to the breakdown.
As a TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) Certified provider, Dr. Miller uses a golf-specific screening process to identify exactly where your body is limiting your swing and putting you at risk for injury. This isn’t generic physical therapy applied to a golfer — it’s physical therapy built specifically around the demands of the golf swing.
Combined with his background as a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS), Dr. Miller brings a level of diagnostic precision that most clinics simply don’t offer. You’re not handed a printout of stretches and sent on your way — you’re getting one-on-one, hands-on care from a doctor of physical therapy who treats every session personally.

Getting Back to Pain-Free Golf
Whether you’re dealing with a nagging ache that’s been lingering for months or you just want to move better and add distance to your drives, Dr. Miller’s approach is the same: understand your body, understand your swing, and build a plan that gets you back on the course — pain-free and swinging with confidence.
You don’t have to keep adjusting your grip, your stance, or your expectations around pain. There’s a reason for it, and it can be fixed.
