What is TPI?
TPI is the world’s leading organisation specialising in the study of the relationship between how our body functions and the golf swing. TPI was first established in 2003 and since then it has been collecting data on golfers from all walks of life with the aim of educating them on the importance of proper body function to complement their golf performance and reduce golf related injuries.
What does a TPI physical screen consist of?
A TPI physical screen will consist of a 45-minute one-on-one consult with one of our specialist golf physios taking you though 16 different tests to identify any limitations you may have that will affect your golf performance or lead to injures down the track. The results of the screen will be sent to you via e-mail and our physio will explain the report in detail. The screen will assess any mobility or stability deficiencies which we will target with our treatment plan. We provide you with online access to a large body of golf specific exercises which we will use to make up your personalised exercise program.

Video Analysis
As part of our TPI screen we also encourage golfers to send us videos of their golf swing from two different views. We use computer programs to assess their golf swing and highlight areas of the body which may be interfering with their efficiency. We like to work closely with your golf professional to ensure you get the greatest results from your lessons.
