Free Workshop – Vernon, BC – Spring 2026

The season just started. Your back shouldn’t already hurt.

If you headed out for your first rounds of the year and the stiffness, tightness, or pain showed up right on schedule — this free evening session is for you.

You know the feeling. A few holes in and something starts to tighten. You adjust your stance, shorten your backswing, tell yourself you just need to loosen up. Maybe you did some stretching before you left the house. Maybe you’ve been doing that for years.

And yet here you are, same place as last April.

It’s not because you’re not trying. It’s because the things most golfers do about back pain and stiffness — stretch more, rest more, manage it — don’t actually fix anything. They just keep the lid on.

There’s a reason it keeps coming back. And once you understand it, the fix is simpler than you’d expect.

Why the usual answers don’t work.

More stretching

Stretching works on the muscle. But your nervous system controls how much that muscle is willing to move. If it hasn’t been trained to support the range of motion you’re asking for, it will pull back every time — no matter how often you stretch.

Rest and time off

Rest quiets things down. It doesn’t build anything. Most golfers come back feeling fine — until hole 6, when the same thing flares up again. The body never got stronger. It just got a break.

Treating where it hurts

Your back is almost never the real problem. It’s where the load ends up when other parts of your body aren’t doing their job. Treating the pain site is like unplugging the smoke alarm instead of finding the fire.

What you’ll learn in this session:

  • Why your back is almost never the real source of back pain — and where to actually look
  • The two deep muscles that support your spine during rotation — and why most golf fitness programs miss them completely
  • The 5 zones in your golf swing where restrictions hide — and how one tight spot forces everything else to compensate
  • How training your nervous system — not just your muscles — unlocks the mobility and strength that stretching alone never will

What you’ll walk away with…

This isn’t a lecture you’ll forget by the time you get home. During the session you’ll complete two hands-on assessments — and leave knowing exactly where you stand.

  • I started working with Andrew after getting frustrated constantly playing golf in pain. After a few surprisingly simple breathing exercises I immediately started to see results. He’s helped me get to a place where I no longer golf in pain.

  • It’s no coincidence my golf game improved dramatically after my range of motion improved from only a few physio sessions with Andrew. Amazing results!

Meet Andrew Koppejan

Andrew is a physical therapist in Vernon, BC who has spent 15+ years figuring out why backs hurt — and more importantly, how to fix them for good.


Working and living at Predator Ridge Golf Resort for a few years, he kept seeing golfers get stuck in the same cycle of stretching, temporary relief, and recurring pain. He developed the Movement Matrix Method — a whole-body approach that finds the root cause, not just the symptom.


He’s helped hundreds of golfers over 55 get back to playing full rounds without pain, without surgery, and without relying on painkillers.
