The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Physical Screen

Dr. Chris uses the TPI golf-specific physical screen, an evaluation of 15 assessments used to investigate how your body moves and how you control that movement. These assessments are grouped into the following 5 areas that are of utmost importance to your game, ensuring that your have an efficient, repeatable golf swing:

 

• Core Control - Your ability to move and control your torso and hips, linking ground reaction forces to the trunk allowing you to efficiently generate power and rotational speed. 

• Upper Body Disassociation - Your ability to rotate your upper body independently of your lower body, assesses the mobility of your upper body while keeping your lower body stable. 

• Lower Body Disassociation - Your ability to to rotate your lower body independently of your upper body, assesses the mobility of your lower body while keeping your upper body stable.

• Maintaining Posture - Your ability to maintain postural control while moving and rotating your arms throughout the golf swing.

• Set/Release of the Golf Club - Your ability to set and hinge your wrists from setup to impact, a key factor in compression at impact as well as controlling the plane and path of the golf club.

 

Through the assessment of patterns of joint mobility and stability of your body, this screen helps us to understand the specific areas that we need to address in order to enhance the efficiency and power of your golf swing. By applying different treatment protocols to areas deficient in range of motion and/or lacking motor control (chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue work, and exercise therapy with a home exercise plan to perform between visits), we help you elevate your game, decrease the stress on injured areas of your body, and help you to Approach Excellence.

 

A Part of Your Team

There are few things as frustrating as working on a group project where no one is in agreement on how something should be done. That's why we work alongside your golf coach/professional to coordinate a plan of action for improving your golf game. This allows your coach to focus on correcting your swing, while we ensure that your body is capable of hitting the proper positions, without worrying about someone else reversing changes made in your last lesson.
