Golf Performance

Swing harder, rotate further, play pain-free.

I'm one of the few TPI-certified chiropractors in San Francisco. Your swing is only as good as your body lets it be — so let's fix the body, and the swing follows.

Your swing is limited by your body

Let me explain. A good golf swing needs rotation — through the hips, through the thoracic spine, the mid-back. Now, if that mid-back is stiff, or your hips don’t rotate well, your body has to make up that movement somewhere else. Usually that’s the lower back. And that can lead to pain, and it can lead to compensations like early extension that wreck your consistency.

So when you can’t turn, you don’t just lose distance — you set yourself up to get injured.

What we do (TPI-certified)

  1. TPI movement screen — we assess exactly how your hips, spine, and shoulders move, and find the physical limitation behind your swing fault.
  2. Adjustment + mobility — we free up the rotation where it should come from, take the pressure off the joints, and reduce the muscle tension.
  3. Targeted strengthening — three sets of the right exercises, a few times a week, to lock in the new range and protect it.

Fix the body, and the swing follows. Consistency is key — you’re going to do the work, and you’re going to feel it on the course.

Common questions

What does TPI certification mean for my golf game? +

TPI — Titleist Performance Institute — is the gold standard for understanding how your body and your swing connect. As a TPI-certified chiropractor, I screen how your hips, spine, and shoulders move, find the physical limitation that's costing you rotation or causing early extension, and fix it. Your swing mechanics are often limited by your body, not your technique.

I get back pain after a round — can you help? +

Most of the time, yes. Golf loads the spine with a lot of rotation, and if your mid-back is stiff or your pelvis isn't moving right, that can lead to low back pain. We free up the rotation where it should come from so your lower back stops taking the load it was never meant to.

Do I need to already be a good golfer? +

Not at all. Whether you're scratch or just starting, the same principle applies — a body that moves well swings better and stays healthier. You're going to move better first, and the game gets easier.

Let me take you from pain to peak performance.
