Hi, I’m Tom, a physiotherapist and passionate golfer at North West Physio in Keperra. As someone who’s spent countless hours perfecting my swing, I know firsthand how important physical health is to your game.
My journey into physiotherapy was inspired by my uncle, a professional golfer who played on the PGA tour for over 20 years. Seeing how physiotherapy helped him perform at his best ignited my passion for helping golfers like you unlock their potential.
Let’s talk about why a tailored approach to your physical health can be a game-changer on the course.

Golf injuries: pain, stiffness, and your swing
Golf is a sport of precision, requiring fluid motion and perfect timing. But pain and stiffness can seriously derail your game. Limited movement, reduced swing power, and compromised accuracy are just the start. Pain can lead to fatigue, disrupt balance, and make it challenging to focus, ultimately turning a day on the course into a frustrating experience.
The good news? You can address these issues with proper warm-ups, targeted stretching, and professional support. That’s where a golf physio like me can help!
What’s a TPI Assessment, and why should you care?
If you’re a golfer, you’ve likely heard of the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI). A TPI assessment is a specialised screening that identifies weaknesses and tight spots in your body that might be holding your game back.
During the screen, we evaluate key areas like:
Core control:
The foundation of a powerful swing
Mobility:
Flexibility in your hips, shoulders, and spine
Balance:
Essential for consistent ball striking
Strength:
We assess how well your muscles support your swing from your legs to your arms
Posture:
Alignment that ensures optimal movement and power transfer
Armed with this insight, we create a personalised plan to help you swing better, hit further, and feel stronger— all while reducing the risk of injury.
For more on TPI assessments, please read: Elevate your golf game with golf TPI assessments.
Golf fitness plan
Based on your TPI results, your plan could include:
– Mobility training: Stretching to enhance flexibility.
– Strength training: Core and lower body exercises to power your game.
– Balance and coordination drills: To perfect your posture and control.
– Swing adjustments: Tailored tweaks to align your technique with your body’s capabilities.
– Rehabilitation: Targeted therapy to address pain and injuries.
– Recovery techniques: Include foam rolling and massage to keep you feeling fresh.
Every golfer is unique; your plan will reflect your needs and goals.
Fitness for golf: success on the course
One of my favourite success stories involves a golfer who came to me struggling with back pain and inconsistent ball striking. After a TPI assessment, we discovered limited hip mobility and weak core strength were the culprits. His plan focused on improving hip flexibility, core strengthening, and balance. Within weeks, he struck the ball more consistently, hit it farther, and played pain-free!
