The TPI Screen

Your body and your swing, connected

Most swing faults and golf injuries trace back to a physical limitation — a tight hip, a stiff thoracic spine, poor rotation, or a lack of stability. Using the Titleist Performance Institute screen, your Doctor of PT identifies exactly where your body is holding your swing back, then builds a plan to fix it.

  • Find the physical cause of your swing faults
  • Relieve golf-related back, hip & shoulder pain
  • A clear plan to move — and swing — better

How Golf Therapy Works

From screen to extra yards

Whether you’re fighting low-back pain or chasing more clubhead speed, the path is the same.

01

Screen

A full TPI assessment links your mobility, stability, and rotation to your swing.

02

Diagnose

We pinpoint the limitations causing pain or robbing you of distance.

03

Build

A custom program restores mobility and builds rotational power, tested on force plates.

04

Play

You return to the course moving better — pain-free, and hitting it farther.

Power & Distance

More speed, measured — not guessed

Distance comes from rotational power and how efficiently you transfer force into the ground. We measure it objectively with force plates and build the strength, speed, and sequencing that add clubhead speed — the same approach we use with rotational athletes in baseball and lacrosse.

  • Force-plate testing of ground force & power
  • Rotational power and speed development
  • Strength that protects your back and shoulders
  • Programming that carries from the gym to the tee

Questions, Answered

Golf therapy & TPI — FAQ

What is TPI and why does it matter for golfers?

TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) is the industry standard for connecting how a golfer’s body moves to how they swing. A TPI-certified Doctor of PT screens your mobility, stability, and rotation to find the physical limitations behind your swing faults, pain, or loss of distance — then fixes them.

Can you help with golf-related back pain?

Yes. Low-back pain is the most common complaint in golf, and it’s usually driven by limited hip or thoracic-spine rotation forcing the back to compensate. We treat the root cause — restoring rotation and stability — so you can play without pain instead of just managing it.

Will golf therapy actually help me hit it farther?

Distance comes from rotational power and ground force. We measure both objectively with force plates and build the mobility, strength, and sequencing to add clubhead speed — so the gains are real and measurable, not guesswork.

Do I need to be injured to benefit?

No. Plenty of golfers come to us purely for performance — more distance, better consistency, and durability for more rounds. Others come for pain. The TPI screen guides both.

Where do you offer golf therapy?

At all three San Diego clinics — Solana Beach, La Costa (San Marcos), and Rancho Bernardo — with a Doctor of Physical Therapy every visit.
