Speed, distance, and consistency are built on what your body can do: rotate,
separate, load, and deliver force through the ground. If the body cannot do it, no swing tip will
stick. VIP PT builds the physical side of your game with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who uses
Titleist Performance Institute screening principles and trains golfers one-on-one.
This program is for golfers who are not currently injured and want more from their
body. That includes:
If pain is what is holding you back right now, start with Golf Physical Therapy instead. Many
golfers move from one to the other.
Titleist Performance Institute research has shown for years that the most common swing characteristics, things like early extension, loss of posture, sway, slide, and reverse spine angle, are strongly linked to physical limitations. A golfer who cannot internally rotate the lead
hip will often stand up out of the shot. A golfer with limited thoracic rotation will over-rotate
the lower back to make up the difference. A golfer who cannot separate the pelvis from the
torso loses the stretch that creates speed.
A targeted approach to improve mobility, strength, and performance for golfers through personalized physical therapy.
A golf-specific physical screen based on Titleist Performance Institute principles: pelvic rotation and tilt, torso rotation, lead hip internal rotation, thoracic mobility, shoulder rotation, ankle mobility, single-leg balance, and the ability to separate the upper and lower body. The screen tells us which swing characteristics your body is likely producing.
Not random stretching. Targeted work on the joints that limit your rotation, held and loaded in the positions golf actually uses, so the new range shows up on the course.
Golf is a ground-up sport. We train force production through the feet, hips, and trunk, the ability to brace the lead side at impact, and the deceleration strength that protects your back and lets you swing harder without fear.
Progressive speed work, including overspeed and underspeed training and medicine ball rotational power, layered on top of the strength and mobility that make it safe. Speed is a skill. It is trained, not hoped for.
Every phase has numbers: rotation range, single-leg stability, medicine ball throw distance, swing speed. When the numbers move, the plan moves.
From evaluation to results, follow a structured path designed to reduce pain and improve performance.
A one-on-one session with Dr. Smith: golf movement screen, strength and power testing, review of your swing video or launch monitor data if you have it, and a conversation about your game, your misses, your practice volume, and your goals.
You get a written plan that prioritizes the one or two limitations that matter most, with a clear timeline and specific targets
Structured sessions in the F1 Facility, twice a week for four weeks in the standard package. Every session is coached one-on-one. You also get an at-home program through our app so progress does not stop between sessions.
Full, pain-free rotation through the backswing and follow-through
Real separation between hips and shoulders, which is where speed comes from
A lead side that can brace and accept force at impact
Balance and posture that hold up from the first tee to the 18th green
Measurable club head speed gains
A body that recovers well enough to practice and play as much as you want
Golf Evaluation
$175
One-on-one evaluation with golf movement screen.
$1,000
Two sessions per week for four weeks.
$1,000
Two sessions per week for four weeks. Each visit is 60 minutes of
golf performance plus 30 minutes of physical therapy.
VIP PT can support golfers in person and, where appropriate, with virtual programming guidance to help them stay consistent between visits.
Golf is one of VIP PT’s strongest differentiators. This page should feel like a flagship destination because it reflects a real area of specialty, not a generic add-on.
