Andy uses the Titleist Performance Institute golf specific movement screen to evaluate joint mobility and stability patterns throughout your body. Using this screen will help us target the exact areas we need to focus on to improve the efficiency and power in your swing. Whether that is working on improving your hip rotation to take the pressure off your low back, or improving the strength in your lower extremities to create more power, we can help.

Golf Performance Focus Areas
Common joint mobility restrictions in the golfer
In golfers, there are several common joint mobility restrictions that can affect performance and increase the risk of injury. These restrictions often occur due to repetitive movements, muscle imbalances, and poor biomechanics associated with the golf swing. Here are some of the most common joint mobility restrictions seen in golfers:
- Ankles
- Hips
- Thoracic Spine
- Cervical Spine
- Shoulders
Common muscular restrictions in the golfer
Certain muscular restrictions are common due to the repetitive nature of the golf swing and the specific demands placed on the body. These muscular restrictions can lead to biomechanical imbalances, reduced performance, and an increased risk of injury. Here are some of the most common muscular restrictions seen in golfers:
- Latissimus Dorsi
- Gastrocnemius/Soleus
- Deep hip external rotators
- Tensor Fascia Lata
- Pectoralis major/minor
- Upper trapezius
Common inhibited/weak muscles in the golfer
Certain muscles may become inhibited or weak due to the repetitive nature of the golf swing, imbalanced training, or compensatory movements. These weaknesses can lead to biomechanical imbalances, reduced performance, and an increased risk of injury. Here are some of the most common inhibited or weak muscles seen in golfers:
- Gluteus maximus/medius
- Internal/External Obliques
- Serratus Anterior
- Lower/middle trapezius
