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.
Mission & Philosophy
TPI’s mission is to educate golfers and industry professionals on the Body-Swing Connection through its one of a kind TPI Certified educational program.TPI believes that golfers should match their swing style to their movement capabilities. The philosophy is simple: There are an infinite number of ways to swing a golf club. However, there is one most-efficient way for each player to swing a club and it is based on what they can physically do.
TPI Assessment Screen
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can chiropractic treatment improve my golf game?
Chiro treatment plays a crucial role in optimizing your golf game by addressing key physical factors that influence your swing mechanics and overall performance. Golf requires precision, flexibility, and strength, and any misalignment in the body's musculoskeletal system can negatively impact your ability to perform at your best.
A well-aligned spine and proper body mechanics are essential for achieving an optimal range of motion in your golf swing. When golfers experience stiffness, poor form, or discomfort, it can restrict movement and lead to injuries over time. Through spinal manipulation and chiropractic adjustments, we can help enhance swing mechanics, improve posture, and allow for a more fluid and controlled golf swing.
Additionally, chiro care helps prevent injury by identifying and addressing underlying issues before they develop into chronic pain or mobility restrictions. By maintaining an improved range of motion and flexibility, golfers can experience reduced pain, better endurance on the golf course, and overall well-being. Whether you're a professional golfer or an average weekend amateur golfer, chiropractic care can help you play at your peak level while minimizing the risk of common golf injuries
Is chiropractic treatment safe for golfers?
Yes, chiro treatment is a safe and effective way for golfers to maintain mobility, recover from sports injuries, and enhance their overall golf game. Unlike conventional medical approaches that often rely on medication or invasive procedures, chiro care provides a drug-free and holistic approach to improving movement and injury prevention.
Golf places significant stress on the spine, shoulders, and hips due to its repetitive motion. Over time, this can lead to muscle imbalances, shoulder pain, or even disc problems if not properly managed. Chiropractic adjustments work to restore proper alignment, relieve joint restrictions, and reduce stress on the nervous system.
Many professional golfers, including Tiger Woods, have openly credited chiro care for maintaining their swing mechanics and preventing injuries throughout their careers. Regular treatment sessions can reduce pain, improve increased mobility, and help maintain long-term health.
If you're a golfer looking to stay pain-free and keep your golf game at its peak, chiro care is a safe and proactive solution to keep you moving efficiently.
How often should I see a chiropractor during golf season?
The frequency of chiro care during golf season depends on various factors, such as the intensity of your golf practice, existing injuries, and your overall physical condition. For golfers who play regularly, routine chiropractic adjustments can help maintain body mechanics and prevent repetitive strain on the spine and muscles.
For optimal injury prevention, many golfers find that seeing a chiropractor once or twice a month helps them maintain flexibility and prevent issues like neck pain or shoulder pain. However, if you're recovering from a sports injury or experiencing discomfort after long hours on the golf course, more frequent treatment sessions may be necessary to support recovery time and prevent further complications.
Additionally, regular chiro care can contribute to stress reduction, blood flow improvement, and inflammation, all of which are essential for keeping the body in peak condition throughout the season. Our customized treatment plans are tailored to each golfer’s needs to ensure the best possible care while enhancing performance.
Can chiropractic care help with existing golf injuries?
Absolutely! Chiropractic care is a highly effective solution for treating sports injuries related to golf. Many golfers suffer from chronic pain due to repetitive motion, improper swing mechanics, or past injuries that haven’t fully healed.
Common golf injuries include shoulder pain, neck pain, and soft tissue injuries caused by overuse. These issues can lead to compensations in the body’s musculoskeletal system, causing further discomfort and potential long-term health concerns. Through chiropractic adjustments, massage, and targeted rehabilitation exercises, we help alleviate pain, restore mobility, and promote faster healing.
For those recovering from disc problems or spinal misalignment, our treatment plans focus on spinal manipulation, improved posture, and flexibility training to get you back on the golf course safely. We emphasize a holistic approach to recovery, addressing not just the symptoms but also the underlying issues contributing to your pain.
If you’ve been dealing with golf injuries, early intervention with chiropractic care can significantly shorten recovery time and prevent further complications.
Do you offer personalized exercise programs?
Yes! At Washington Park Chiropractic, we believe that a customized treatment plan is essential for optimizing your golf game. Our specialized programs focus on building strength, flexibility, and endurance to support proper swing mechanics and prevent injuries.
Our golf-specific exercise programs include:
-
Strengthening the muscles used during a golf swing to ensure balance and stability.
-
Mobility drills to increase improved range of motion, leading to smoother and more controlled movements.
-
Corrective exercises are designed to target underlying issues like poor form, which can cause repetitive stress injuries.
Additionally, incorporating massage therapy into your routine can further aid in stress reduction and recovery, allowing for a pain-free and more enjoyable time on the course. Whether you're a professional golfer or an average weekend amateur golfer, our goal is to provide chiropractic care that enhances your ability to play at your best.
Will my insurance cover golf-related chiropractic treatments?
Insurance coverage for chiropractic care varies depending on your provider and policy. While some insurance companies recognize the benefits of chiro treatment for sports injuries, others may classify golf-related care under elective treatment.
If you’ve sustained an injury from golf or have ongoing chronic pain, we recommend checking with your insurance company to see what treatments are covered. At Washington Park Chiropractic, our office staff can help you navigate your policy and provide documentation to support any claims for treatment plans related to sports injuries or injury prevention.
Even if your insurance does not fully cover chiropractic adjustments, investing in chiropractic care is a proactive step toward maintaining long-term health, reduced pain, and improved well-being. Many golfers who commit to regular treatment sessions experience increased energy, enhanced overall performance, and a greater ability to stay active on the course without limitations.
