Certified TPI Medical Provider Helping Golfers Move Better and Swing Pain-Free.

Every golfer wants a powerful, consistent swing, but mobility restrictions can hold you back. Fascial Stretch Therapy combined with Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) screening identifies the mobility limitations affecting your swing so you can move better, generate more power, and play without pain.

WHY GOLFERS NEED FASCIAL STRETCH THERAPY.

Increase Shoulder & Hip Rotation → Achieve a smoother, more powerful swing

Enhance Core Stability & Balance → Improve shot accuracy and consistency

Reduce Low Back & Hip Pain → Address common golfer injuries and stiffness

Improve Recovery & Injury Prevention → Keep your body in peak condition for more time on the course

HOW FST WORKS FOR GOLF PERFORMANCE.

Unlike traditional stretching, Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) targets deep connective tissue and joint capsules to improve movement patterns specific to golf. This hands-on, assisted stretching technique is designed to:

 

✅ Open up your shoulders, spine, and hips for a better range of motion

✅ Reduce muscle tightness that affects your backswing and follow-through

✅ Increase explosive power by improving muscle elasticity and joint mobility

✅ Speed up post-game recovery, so you can train and play more efficiently

GOLF SWING LIMITATIONS WE IDENTIFY WITH TPI.

Using the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) screening, we identify mobility restrictions that affect your swing mechanics.

Common limitations include:

• Limited hip internal rotation affecting backswing power
• Poor thoracic spine rotation reducing club speed
• Tight shoulders and lats limiting follow-through
• Restricted ankle mobility affecting stability and balance

Once identified, we use Fascial Stretch Therapy to restore movement where golfers need it most.

WHAT IS FASCIAL STRETCH THERAPY?

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is an assisted table-based stretching system that focuses on the connective tissue in your body (aka fascia) as the key element in achieving optimal flexibility, strength, performance and pain relief.

FST is non-invasive and one of the quickest, most effective and pleasant methods to eliminate pain, restore function, move and feel better in activities of life, fitness and sports.

 

WHAT MAKES FST DIFFERENT?

  • Pain-free: stretching should NEVER hurt!

  • Personal evaluation - ESSENTIAL to reach goals FAST.

  • Customized NOT standardized for YOUR needs.

  • Hundreds of stretches to personalize your experience.

  • Session cost is not based on price but on VALUE.

WHAT IS
FASCIA?

Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. Healthy fascia is smooth, slippery and flexible. It’s designed to stretch as you move, but there are certain factors that can cause fascia to thicken and become sticky. This includes a sedentary lifestyle, repetitive movement and injury/trauma. When your fascia tightens up around muscles, it can limit mobility and cause painful knots to develop. Untreated fascia restrictions can create body-wide compensations.

FST HELPS GOLFERS WITH:

Limited hip rotation affecting backswing

Tight shoulders reducing swing range

Lower back pain during or after rounds

Reduced power and club speed

Poor rotational mobility

Injury prevention during golf season

COMPARISONS AND CONTRASTS OF
TRADITIONAL STRETCHING VS FST.

TRADITIONAL STRETCHING

Complete whole body, dynamic systems based methodology

Based on current science and research specific to stretching and neuromyofascial system of the body

Circular, multi-directional, as needed customized movements

Targets joint capsule and muscles within neuromyofascial network

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Will this improve my golf swing?

Fascial Stretch Therapy helps restore mobility in the hips, spine, and shoulders - all critical areas for a powerful golf swing. Combined with the TPI assessment, we identify physical limitations that may be affecting your swing mechanics.

How does FST benefit golfers specifically?

FST can increase range of motion, improve swing mechanics, reduce the risk of injuries, and enhance overall performance on the golf course.

What can I expect during an FST session?

During an FST session, a certified therapist will guide you through gentle, pain-free stretches targeting specific muscle groups and fascia lines relevant to golf movements. 

How often should I undergo FST to see results in my golf game?

The frequency of sessions depends on individual needs and goals. Some golfers benefit from weekly sessions, while others may find bi-weekly or monthly sessions sufficient.

It’s recommended to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for a full range of motion. Staying hydrated before and after the session is also beneficial.
