Golf is often seen as a low-impact sport, but anyone who plays regularly knows the physical demands it places on your body. The combination of rotational power, repetitive swings, and asymmetrical movement can lead to a range of injuries—especially when your body isn’t moving efficiently.
At Nonstop Physiotherapy + Recovery, we work with golfers of all levels to prevent, manage, and treat common golf injuries using targeted movement assessments, including the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) screen.
The Most Common Golf Injuries We See:
Low Back Pain:
The rotational forces of the golf swing can put excessive stress on the lower back, especially when mobility is limited in the hips or thoracic spine.
Elbow Injuries (Golfer’s Elbow / Tennis Elbow):
Repetitive strain on the forearm muscles can cause medial (inner) or lateral (outer) elbow pain, common in both amateurs and pros.
Shoulder Pain:
Limited shoulder mobility or poor control often leads to impingement, rotator cuff irritation, or decreased swing efficiency.
Hip Mobility Restrictions:
Tight hips limit your ability to load and rotate properly, which can reduce power and lead to compensation patterns that increase injury risk.
How a TPI Assessment Can Help:
The TPI Assessment is a golf-specific movement screen designed to evaluate how your body’s mobility, stability, and control impact your swing mechanics. As certified TPI medical providers, we use this tool to:
- Identify movement limitations contributing to pain or poor performance
- Target areas like the hips, shoulders, and spine for mobility and stability improvements
- Design a personalized plan to reduce injury risk and optimize your swing
- Help you play longer, with more power, and less pain
Why Guess When You Can Test?
Injury prevention starts with understanding how your body moves—and the TPI Assessment provides exactly that insight.
