TPI Golf Assessment in Cottonwood Heights

A Titleist Performance Institute movement screen for golfers: what your body can and cannot do, and how that shows up in your swing.

Some swing faults are not swing faults.

A TPI Golf Assessment examines how your body moves, generally and inside the golf swing specifically. Your Doctor of Physical Therapy runs you through the Titleist Performance Institute screen, a series of tests built for golfers, evaluating flexibility, balance, strength and range of motion. Dr. Matthew Nelson is Titleist Performance Institute Medical Level 3 Certified.

The point is to separate the two kinds of problem. A technique fault your coach can fix on the range, and a physical limitation no amount of lessons will change. If your hips will not rotate, the swing will find a way around them, and that workaround is usually what hurts. The screen finds mobility restrictions, muscular imbalances, postural issues, and the areas already absorbing load they were not built for.

One screen. Three questions answered.

The Screen

You spend about an hour one on one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy going through the TPI tests: movement screens that quantify flexibility, strength and range of motion, on the ground and in golf posture.

What It Finds

Mobility limitations affecting your swing, muscular imbalances and weaknesses, postural issues feeding swing faults, and the areas already prone to injury or overuse.

Your Results

We go through the findings in plain language: what is a body problem, what is a technique problem, and what corrective work comes next. That programming lives on our golf performance page.

Objective data instead of guesswork.

You walk out knowing what your body is actually capable of, which is the only honest starting point for changing your swing.

A Clear Physical Picture

Measured flexibility, balance, strength and range of motion, so you know where the restrictions actually are.

Swing Faults Explained

The screen connects a physical limitation to the fault it produces, so a lesson is not spent fighting your own anatomy.

Injury Risk Identified

Areas taking load they were not built for show up on the screen, usually before they become elbow, shoulder or back pain.

A Real Starting Point

The findings become the brief for your corrective program, so training time goes to your limits and not generic golf drills.
