Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Golf Physiotherapy
What is TPI?
TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) is the world's leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. For over twenty years, TPI has gathered the world’s largest technical database of the game’s top Tour professionals as well as every-day golfers. TPI collects 3D motion capture, force, pressure, launch monitor, strength, power, and movement data on every player that visits the TPI campus. Using this data, TPI discovered how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible. Conversely, TPI determined how physical limitations in a player’s body can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury. This relationship is what TPI calls The Body-Swing Connection and is the foundation of all professional Certification courses offered by TPI.
What is golf physiotherapy?
Our golf physiotherapist, Andrew Preston, is Titleist Performance Institute Certified Medical 2. He has undergone extensive training to assess and treat injuries that are specific to golfers. An integral part of golf physiotherapy is the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) screen that will highlight physical limitations that may be inhibiting your performance or leading to injury.
What is a TPI golf assessment?
If you don’t assess, it’s just a guess.
To achieve an efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened. A proper screen involves an assessment of swing mechanics, biomechanics, physical fitness, movement quality, current health, and injury history.
The TPI movement screen is a simple test to quickly evaluate a player’s physical capabilities. The results of that assessment are used to determine how technical elements of the player’s swing could be related to what their body can or cannot do. Once this screen is finished, the results are used to create a plan unique for that golfer. The plan may include fitness training, physical therapy and treatment, coaching of swing mechanics and biomechanics, nutrition, mental strategy or all of the above.

“As a professional golfer, my schedule is incredibly demanding, and finding the right support team is crucial. I recently needed to see a physiotherapist urgently, the day before a big tournament. Active Health was fantastic in accommodating my tight schedule and getting me a priority appointment. I was particularly impressed to learn that they have a Titleist Performance Institute Medical Level 2 professional on staff. For any golfer looking for a clinic that understands the physical demands of golf, I highly recommend Active Health.”
