Golf Therapy
What is Golf Therapy?
TPI determined how physical limitations in a player’s body can adversely affect the golf swing, and accommodates the player to enhance their performance and decrease their risk of injury. This relationship is what TPI calls The Body-Swing Connection and is the foundation of all professional Certification courses offered by TPI. Some examples are:
Herniated Disc
Inadequate stability
Lack of mobility
Recover from injuries
Shoulder Injuries (rotator cuff)
Spine
Strength Deficits
Tendinitis (golfer’s elbow or tennis elbow)
The process starts with a 15-part screening specific to golf limitations to identify range of motion, and weaknesses and stability. Next, we will work on targeted manual therapy (OMPT), exercise and stability training to improve golf mechanics.
