Body-Swing Connection
The Titleist Performance Institute has developed the Body-Swing Connection to better understand how a golfer moves, making it effective in identifying issues which are affecting your game.
The TPI certification enables us to evaluate a golfer for physical limitations that can affect technical aspects of your game like swing efficiency and durability, but also your enjoyment of the game, so you aren’t left with aches and pains.
The assessment is based on aspects and movements of your body and the movements used during your swing. By using this 15-point protocol we can identify any physical limitations holding you back from lowering your handicap, improving your driving distance or just enjoying a round of golf with friends.
Are you looking to improve your handicap or driving distance? Are you finding yourself tiring, or aching towards the end of a round which is affecting your performance and enjoyment? Or are you starting to think twice about a round because you don’t want to feel sore the next day?

Golf + Manual Therapy
As experts in the human body and the musculoskeletal system - bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and their relationships between each other - we can apply the TPI principles to pro-active, hands-on treatment.
Stress and tension within muscles, ligaments and tendons, or a lack of strength as well, can be identified. We can then work appropriately to improve your physical condition, minimise pain and restriction of movement, to ensure you can perform to your best without fear of injury or relapse.

David will conduct a thorough physical examination. Providing there are no red flags, he will move onto the physical screening, assessing your body’s movements, strength and power when performing golf-specific movements.
David will identify the key areas in need of improvement in your golf swing and details can be relayed to your golf professional. Based on the biomechanical assessment and any physical issues he has identified; he will recommend a treatment plan.
The treatment plan is hands on manual therapy, aiming to improve you physically so you can improve your game. David will outline the plan and walk you through the likely number of appointments for you to benefit from treatment. Every treatment the initial plan is reviewed along with your reaction to treatment and progress.
