Better Mobility. Better Mechanics. Lower Scores.
Golfers of all skill levels often deal with frustrating limitations—whether it’s inconsistent ball striking, loss of distance, or nagging pain in the low back, hips, shoulders, elbows, or wrists. Many of these issues are not swing problems—they’re body problems.
At Vertex PT Specialists, we offer a comprehensive Golf Performance and TPI Assessment led by Dr. Thomas DeHaven, a Doctor of Physical Therapy with advanced certifications in golf-specific movement analysis, injury treatment, and performance training.
What Is a TPI Golf Assessment?
Developed by the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), the TPI Golf Screen is the gold standard for evaluating how physical limitations affect the golf swing. It includes 16 evidence-based movement tests designed to uncover stiffness, weakness, or control issues that can alter mechanics, reduce power, or lead to injury.
Dr. DeHaven blends this screen with clinical mobility and strength testing, hands-on assessment, and optional video swing analysis to build a customized plan based on your unique swing and physical profile.
What You’ll Get
Your session includes:
- Full-body mobility, strength, and balance assessment
- TPI Level 1 Golf Screen (16-point movement screen)
- Functional analysis of swing mechanics and physical constraints
- Hands-on treatment for any painful or restricted areas
- A personalized mobility + performance training plan
- Injury rehab guidance or physical therapy, if needed

Who Should Get a Golf Assessment?

- Golfers with pain during or after play (back, hips, shoulders, etc.)
