Golf Physiotherapy
What is TPI?
TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) is the world’s leading educational organisation dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. For over twenty years, TPI has gathered the world’s largest technical database of the game’s top Tour professionals as well as every-day golfers.
TPI collects 3D motion capture, force, pressure, launch monitor, strength, power, and movement data on every player that visits the TPI campus. Using this data, TPI discovered how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible.
Conversely, TPI determined how physical limitations in a player’s body can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury. This relationship is what TPI calls The Body-Swing Connection and is the foundation of all professional Certification courses offered by TPI.
TPI’s Assessment Screen
If you don’t assess,
it’s just a guess.
To achieve an efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened. A proper screen involves an assessment of swing mechanics, biomechanics, physical fitness, movement quality, current health, and injury history.
The TPI movement screen is a simple test to quickly evaluate a player’s physical capabilities. The results of that assessment are used to determine how technicalelements of the player’s swing could be related to what their body can or cannot do.
Once this screen is finished, the results are used to create a plan unique for that golfer. The plan may include fitness training, physical therapy and treatment, coaching of swing mechanics and biomechanics, nutrition, mental strategy or all of the above.

2. Golf Swing Analysis
We’ll perform a video analysis of your golf swing to pinpoint specific movements that may need adjustment.

Download the MyTPI app from the App Store or Google PlayStore, and create your account to access your tailored exercise plan.
If we identify any injuries that could limit your progress, we’ll ensure you receive the appropriate treatment—whether it’s within our clinic or by referring you to the right medical professional.
Your exercise program will be easily accessible through your MyTPI app account. If you’re already working with a TPI Certified golf coach, they can also contribute exercises to your plan.
We also invite you to join our exercise classes with fellow golf enthusiasts, aimed at enhancing your strength, conditioning, mobility, and swing speed—key factors in improving your golf game and reducing the risk of injury.
