I don’t promise to turn you into the next Jordan Spieth or Georgia Hall, but through the techniques pioneered by The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), I help golfers develop the strength and flexibility to make individual swing actions much more effective and less wearing on joints and muscles.\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”What Header” _builder_version=”3.11″ text_text_color=”#7d78b9″ text_font_size=”18px” custom_padding=”30px|||”]\r\n\r\nWhat is The Titleist Performance Institute?\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.11″]\r\n\r\nTPI is the world’s leading education and research facility, dedicated to the golf swing. TPI has carried out research into how stiffness or weakness in a player’s body can affect their golf swing and potentially lead to injury. The Institute runs courses for physiotherapists at centres across the UK. I completed my course in 2013 at the renowned PGA National Training Academy at The Belfry to become a certified level two professional, qualified to use TPI techniques.\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”How Header” _builder_version=”3.11″ text_text_color=”#7d78b9″ text_font_size=”18px” custom_padding=”30px|||”]\r\n\r\nHow does Titleist work?\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.11″]\r\n\r\nWe don’t believe that there’s just one correct swing; you just have to look at any major golf tournament to see that. But we do believe that every individual has an optimum swing for them, based on what their body can do.\r\n\r\nTPI has devised a physical screening process to determine if a golfer’s body is causing problems with their swing.\r\n\r\nThe golf swing is an immensely complicated action involving multiple muscles and joints in different planes. Trying to spot a problem would be very difficult, so I ask clients to carry out a series of exercises that isolate each elements of a swing, allowing me to see joints moving separately. This makes it easy to see any flexibility or posture problems that are affecting your swing, and which may also be storing up painful conditions in the future.\r\n\r\nCommon swing problems result from stiffness in your back, shoulders and hips, or weak core strength which leads to poor balance and unstable movement.\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Selecting Header” _builder_version=”3.11″ text_text_color=”#7d78b9″ text_font_size=”18px” custom_padding=”30px|||”]\r\n\r\nSelecting the right treatments to solve your golf swing problems\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.11″]\r\n\r\nOnce the results of your screening are analysed, I can determine the best remedies and what treatment you may need from a physiotherapy perspective:\r\n
