Whether you're a weekend warrior looking to finally break 90 or a competitive player who wants every edge possible, there's one thing I see time and time again in practice: golfers treating the symptoms instead of solving the problem. A sore back after 18 holes. A slice that just won't quit. Power that seems to disappear at impact. These aren't bad luck — they're your body communicating a message. And with the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Golf Assessment, we can finally decode it.
I'm fired up to offer this assessment at our practice because I've seen what it can do — and it's a game changer. Let me break it all down for you.
What Is the TPI Golf Assessment?
TPI — the Titleist Performance Institute — is the world's leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. Their research has shown something powerful: there is no single "perfect" golf swing. What there IS, however, is the most efficient swing for YOUR body.
The TPI Golf Assessment is a comprehensive physical screen that evaluates 16 key movement patterns — things like hip mobility, thoracic rotation, shoulder flexibility, stability, and core control. As your chiropractor and certified TPI practitioner, I'll walk you through each screen, identify where your body is restricted or compensating, and connect those findings directly to what's happening in your swing.
The result? A crystal-clear picture of exactly what's holding your game — and your body — back.
What We're Looking For — and Why It Matters
Every restriction we find during your assessment has a name in the TPI world — a "body-swing connection." For example, limited hip internal rotation is often linked to early extension (losing posture through the shot). Poor thoracic mobility can cause a reverse spine angle that puts tremendous stress on your lower back and kills your power. Tight hip flexors? That could be why you're struggling to make a full shoulder turn.
This isn't guesswork. This is data-driven, research-backed chiropractic care designed specifically for golfers. We're not just getting you out of pain — we're building you into a better athlete.
Your Home Exercise Prescription — Powered by the TPI App
Here's where things get really exciting. After your assessment, you won't just walk out with a list of recommendations — you'll walk out with a personalized exercise plan loaded directly into the TPI app on your phone.
The TPI app is your 24/7 training partner. Each exercise in your plan comes with:
• Video demonstrations so you always know exactly what to do
• Clear sets, reps, and timing so there's no confusion
• Targeted focus areas tied directly to YOUR assessment findings
• Easy tracking to keep you accountable between visits
Think of it this way: your office visits are where we assess, adjust, and advance your plan. The app is where the real work happens day-to-day, in your living room, your garage, or even at the range. Consistency is what creates change, and this tool makes consistency effortless.
No more generic YouTube stretches. No more wondering if you're doing the right thing. Your program is built for you, updated by me, and always in your pocket.
Follow-Up Assessments: Where the Magic Happens
One assessment is valuable. A series of assessments is transformative.
Follow-up TPI assessments — typically scheduled every 6 to 12 weeks — allow us to objectively measure your progress. Did your hip internal rotation improve? Is your thoracic spine moving more freely? Are you holding posture better through impact? We don't have to guess. The numbers tell the story.
This matters for two huge reasons. First, it keeps your treatment plan evolving. As your body improves, your exercises should advance right along with it. We'll update your app prescription at every reassessment to make sure you're always working at the right level — not too easy, not too hard. Second, it gives you undeniable proof of the work you're putting in. There's nothing more motivating than seeing on paper that you've gained 15 degrees of hip rotation or that a movement that used to be a struggle is now passing clean.
For our golfers with pain or injury history, follow-up assessments also help us make sure we're moving safely and progressively — building strength and mobility in the right order so nothing gets aggravated. For our performance-focused players, they're the measuring stick that shows exactly how your physical improvements are translating to a better, more consistent swing.
