Question 1

Do I need to be a good golfer to benefit from a TPI Assessment?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

Will this change my golf swing?

The goal is not to rebuild your swing, but to improve how your body supports your swing. By addressing physical limitations, your swing often becomes more efficient and consistent naturally.

Question 3

Is a TPI Assessment only for golfers with pain/injuries?

Accepted Answer

No. While TPI is excellent for golfers recovering from injury, it is equally effective for injury prevention, performance enhancement, and longevity in the sport.

Question 4

How is a TPI Assessment different from a regular physical therapy evaluation?

A TPI Assessment is golf-specific and directly links movement findings to swing characteristics. It goes beyond general rehab to evaluate rotation, separation, balance, and power generation specific to the golf swing.
