Golf Performance & Injury Treatment — Body First, Swing Second
The only dual TPI Level 2 Medical and Fitness certified provider in Lake Travis. Whether you’re managing pain or chasing yards, the body has to be right before the swing can be.
Dual TPI Certification Means You Get the Full Picture
Most golf performance providers hold one TPI certification. That means they see your body through either a medical lens or a fitness lens — never both. Dr. Matt holds TPI Level 2 in both Medical and Fitness, which means injury treatment and performance programming are integrated from day one — in the same appointment, with the same person who understands both sides of the equation.
Treat What’s Holding Your Game Back
TPI Medical certification trains practitioners to understand the direct relationship between physical limitations and swing faults. When your body can’t move the way the swing demands, it compensates — and compensation patterns become injuries over time.
- Root cause diagnosis — not just symptom management
- Full Body ART to release swing-limiting restrictions
- Chiropractic care targeted to golf-specific movement demands
- Pain-free golf without interrupting your game
Build the Body the Swing Requires
TPI Fitness certification focuses on physical conditioning specific to golf — building the mobility, stability, and rotational power that your swing mechanics actually demand. No generic gym programs. Training built around your screen findings and swing characteristics.
- Customized training based on your TPI movement screen
- Rotational power, hip mobility, and thoracic spine work
- Measurable distance and consistency gains
- Programming that bridges treatment and performance
Where Do You Need to Start?
Whether pain is the problem or performance is the ceiling, both paths run through the same TPI-informed physical assessment. Choose your starting point — the care model integrates both.
Golf Injury Treatment & Recovery
Pain, stiffness, or injury that’s affecting your swing or keeping you off the course. We identify what’s broken and build a plan to fix it — and prevent the next one.
- Low back pain — the #1 golf injury
- Golfer’s elbow and lead wrist pain
- Hip and shoulder restrictions
- Post-surgery return-to-golf planning
Golf Fitness & Performance Training
You’re not hurt — you just know there are yards and consistency left on the table. TPI Fitness programming targets the physical gaps that your swing instructor can see but can’t fix.
- Distance and club head speed improvement
- Thoracic and hip rotation mobility
- Rotational power and ground force production
- Season-long training periodization
The 16-Point TPI Physical Screen
Every golf performance appointment starts with a comprehensive physical screen that maps your body’s limitations directly to your swing characteristics — not general fitness, but golf-specific movement.
Ankle Mobility
Foundation of a stable golf stance and weight transfer through impact.
Hip Mobility & Rotation
The primary engine of swing power and sequencing.
Thoracic Spine Rotation
Mid-back mobility — the most commonly restricted swing limiter.
Shoulder Mobility & Stability
Lead and trail shoulder function through the full swing arc.
Core Stability
Spinal control under rotation and lateral bend.
Wrist & Forearm Mobility
Club face control and injury prevention through impact.
Single-Leg Stability
Balance and stability through the swing in each phase.
Cervical Spine Mobility
Head and neck movement through the swing — affects sightlines and rotation.

Golf Performance — Common Questions
What is a TPI assessment and what does it involve?
A TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) assessment is a comprehensive physical screening system that evaluates 16 movement patterns directly correlated to golf swing characteristics. At Kinetix, Dr. Matt performs the full screen and then maps your physical limitations to the specific swing faults they cause — giving you a clear picture of what’s limiting your game and exactly what to address first.
Do I need to be injured to come in for a golf performance appointment?
Not at all. Many Kinetix golf patients are pain-free but know they’re leaving yards on the table. The TPI physical screen identifies movement limitations that prevent you from reaching your potential — whether or not those limitations are currently causing pain. Performance and injury prevention are two sides of the same screen.
How is this different from what my swing instructor does?
Your swing instructor works from the club and ball flight outward. Dr. Matt works from the body outward. A TPI-trained provider identifies physical reasons why your body can’t execute the positions your instructor is coaching — restrictions your instructor can see but can’t treat. The two approaches are complementary and work best together.
What is TPI and why does certification level matter?
TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) is the world’s leading golf fitness and medical education organization. Level 2 certification represents advanced training in the body-swing connection — including biomechanics, movement screening, and both medical and fitness applications. Dr. Matt holds Level 2 in both Medical and Fitness tracks, which is rare and means a genuinely integrated treatment and performance approach.
Can I keep playing golf during treatment?
In most cases, yes. Dr. Matt’s approach is to keep golfers on the course whenever safely possible — modifying volume and intensity rather than prescribing a full rest period. The corrective exercise program is designed to reinforce treatment between sessions, so progress continues whether you’re playing or not.
