Why “TPI Certified” Has Two Levels — and Why Lakeway Golfers Need Both
Titleist Performance Institute offers certification at multiple levels across three disciplines — Medical, Fitness, and Junior. The credential level matters significantly because it determines what a provider can assess, treat, and program. A single-level TPI provider can screen your movement and identify limitations. A dual-level Medical and Fitness certified provider can screen, treat the restriction, and build the golf-specific programming that ensures the improvement holds under swing load.
Most TPI certified providers in the greater Austin area hold one certification — typically Medical Level 1 or 2, which allows assessment and clinical treatment, but not the performance programming side. Dr. Matt holds both Medical Level 2 and Fitness Level 2 — which means the complete body-swing cycle is addressed in a single appointment rather than requiring coordination between a clinical provider and a separate fitness trainer.
For Lakeway golfers at The Hills, Flintrock, and Falconhead, this matters in two specific scenarios: when you’re injured and need the physical cause of the swing fault identified and treated, and when you’re healthy but physically limited from executing what your instructor has been teaching. Both are solvable with dual TPI certification. Neither is fully solvable with a single level.
Assess & Treat the Physical Limitation
Clinical assessment of the 16-point TPI physical screen, diagnosis of the body-swing connection, and treatment of the restriction — whether tissue (Full Body ART), joint (chiropractic mobilization), or nerve. The medical credential that turns a movement finding into a clinical treatment plan.
Program the Fix & Hold the Improvement
Golf-specific mobility and stability programming delivered via app — the physical exercises that reinforce the range restored in treatment and build the body’s capacity to sustain the improved movement pattern through a full round and a full season.
Both levels held by Dr. Matt Centofonti — the only provider in the Lake Travis corridor with this combination. Treatment and programming in the same appointment. No referrals. No coordination between providers.
What the TPI Assessment Evaluates — and the Swing Faults Each Finding Reveals
The 16-point TPI physical screen maps every movement pattern to a specific swing characteristic. For Lakeway golfers, this is the assessment that finally explains why certain instruction hasn’t been executable — and what needs to change in the body before it can be.
Hip Internal Rotation
The most important single measurement in the TPI screen for most Lakeway golfers. Restricted lead hip IR forces the pelvis to slide rather than rotate — producing early extension, low back loading, and loss of lag.
Thoracic Rotation
Mid-back rotation restriction limiting shoulder turn and forcing the lumbar spine to compensate — producing the reverse spine angle that stresses the back and limits power generation.
Lead Shoulder Mobility
Internal and external rotation range of the lead shoulder — posterior capsule adhesions here produce the chicken wing follow-through and the shoulder pain that builds across a round at Flintrock.
Hip Flexor Length
Psoas and iliacus flexibility from sustained sitting — anterior pelvic tilt at address that makes consistent spine angle maintenance across 18 holes at The Hills physically impossible.
Single-Leg Stability
Trail leg stability during the backswing and lead leg stability through impact — glute activation deficits that produce the sway and lateral movement that costs distance and consistency.
Ankle Dorsiflexion
The most commonly overlooked TPI finding — limited ankle mobility restricting weight transfer and forcing early release. Often the physical cause of casting mechanics that drive golfer’s elbow.
The honest value of TPI assessment for Lakeway golfers: If your instructor has been coaching you on the same fault for two or more seasons without lasting improvement — the issue isn’t your understanding of the instruction. It’s that your body isn’t physically capable of executing the position being coached. TPI assessment identifies exactly which physical limitation is the barrier, so treatment targets that limitation directly rather than coaching around it indefinitely.
Which Lakeway Golfers Get the Most From a TPI Chiropractor
TPI-informed chiropractic care serves two distinct groups equally well — injured golfers and healthy golfers who are physically limited from playing their best.
Injured Golfers — Recurring Issues
Low back pain every season. Golfer’s elbow after every cortisone shot. Hip impingement that hasn’t resolved despite stretching. If your golf injury recurs every time volume returns, the swing fault driving the tissue overload was never identified. TPI assessment finds it. ART releases the restriction. The cycle ends.
Golfers Whose Lessons Aren’t Sticking
You understand what your instructor is asking. You’ve been working on it for months. Your body still won’t do it. This is the most common and most underserved presentation in the Lakeway golf community — a coaching problem that’s actually a physical limitation problem. TPI assessment takes 20 minutes to identify which specific restriction is the barrier.
Performance-Focused Golfers
Not injured, not limited by instruction — but want to know exactly where their physical capacity is leaving distance and consistency on the table. The TPI screen identifies the mobility and stability gaps that limit power generation and swing repeatability, and the TPI Fitness programming builds them.
Post-Surgery / Post-Injury Return
Hip replacement, rotator cuff repair, or low back surgery — returning to golf with a changed physical profile that requires new movement strategies. TPI assessment establishes your current physical capacity and builds a return-to-golf plan around it rather than around what you could do before surgery.

TPI Chiropractor Near Lakeway — Common Questions
Where can I find a TPI certified chiropractor near Lakeway TX?
Kinetix Sport + Spine in Spicewood TX is the only dual TPI Level 2 Medical and Fitness certified chiropractor near Lakeway — 15–20 minutes via Highway 620. No TPI certified chiropractor practices within Lakeway itself at either level. Same-week appointments at 512-730-0284 or kinetixatx.janeapp.com.
What does a TPI certified chiropractor do differently than a regular chiropractor?
A TPI certified chiropractor uses the Titleist Performance Institute physical screen to map your body’s movement limitations — hip rotation, thoracic mobility, shoulder range, core stability — directly to the golf swing characteristics they produce. This identifies which physical restriction is causing your injury or limiting your swing execution, so treatment targets the root cause rather than the symptom. TPI Medical Level 2 covers the clinical treatment side. TPI Fitness Level 2 covers the performance programming side. Dr. Matt holds both.
Do I need to be injured to see a TPI chiropractor?
Not at all. Many Lakeway golfers come to Kinetix because their lessons aren’t producing lasting swing changes — and the TPI screen identifies which physical limitation is the barrier to executing the coaching. Others come for performance assessment to identify where their physical capacity is limiting distance and consistency. TPI-informed care is equally valuable for injury resolution and performance optimization.
How is TPI Level 2 different from TPI Level 1?
TPI Level 1 provides foundational understanding of the body-swing connection and basic screening. TPI Level 2 involves significantly deeper clinical training — advanced assessment protocols, specific injury presentations, and treatment applications for the restrictions identified. For chiropractic specifically, Medical Level 2 covers the full clinical management of TPI-identified restrictions. Fitness Level 2 covers golf-specific programming for mobility and stability deficits. The combination of both at Level 2 is the highest available TPI credential for a single provider.
