 To bring such a ground-breaking exercise and conditioning device to fruition, we sought out people with experience, expertise and innovative spirit. Turning Point's Advisory Board is comprised of professionals with extensive experience in the disciplines that are crucial to the product's effective performance and includes experts in bioengineering, spinal surgery, golf training and instruction, exercise physiology and physical therapy/rehabilitation. Working with Turning Point's management and development teams, the Advisory Board will challenge the development to date, evaluate the test results and help direct the final refinement of the product's design, specifications and protocols. These efforts will be completed in the first half of 2008.
