Smartphone displaying golf exercises for TPI assessment Golf season is in full swing across Oakville and Burlington, and it’s the perfect time to optimize your performance and prevent injury. Many golfers make the mistake of waiting until they feel pain to take action. A Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) assessment offers the advantage of proactive injury prevention and performance enhancement while you’re still active and motivated. At Sheddon Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic, our TPI-certified team can evaluate and correct: Mobility Restrictions – Stiff shoulders or tight hips may limit your backswing or follow-through, putting unnecessary strain on other joints. Strength Imbalances – Weak glutes or an unstable core can lead to compensatory movements that strain your spine, knees, or shoulders. Faulty Swing Mechanics – Poor rotation or bad posture can create repetitive stress on joints and muscles, leading to injuries. With a TPI assessment mid-season, you’ll benefit from: ✔ Reduced risk of injury ✔ Increased swing consistency ✔ Enhanced endurance and power ✔ Quicker response to minor discomfort before it escalates Common Golf Injuries We Help Prevent Healthcare professional discussing golf-related injuries with patientAt our clinics in Oakville and Burlington, we regularly treat golfers experiencing the following injuries, most of which are preventable through early intervention: 1. Lower Back Pain Cause: Over-rotation, weak core, poor posture or decreased hip and thoracic mobility. Our Fix: We assess posture, hip and thoracic mobility and core stability, then introduce exercises that strengthen the core, improve mobility and golf posture. 2. Shoulder and Elbow Strain (Golfer’s Elbow, Rotator Cuff Issues) Cause: Overuse, poor swing mechanics, improper grip, improper use of the lower body or restricted shoulder/thoracic mobility. Our Fix: We assess lower body mechanics, grip setup, and shoulder/thoracic mobility and stability and prescribe exercises as needed 3. Hip and Knee Discomfort Cause: Weak core and restricted hip mobility and stability causing overload in the knees. Our Fix: We prescribe core stability exercises, hip mobility routines and targeted glute activation to offload the force on the knees and hips. 4. Wrist and Hand Pain Cause: Poor use of the lower body, poor grip technique or wrist positioning during impact. Our Fix: We assess lower body mechanics, grip patterns and incorporate hand/wrist mobility drills and grip-strengthening techniques. By addressing these issues proactively, we help golfers stay on the course without missing a round.
