Golf Pain in South Denver?

How TPI-Certified Physical Therapy Gets You Back to the Course

If you’ve been “taking a break” from golf because something doesn’t feel right, you’re not alone.

Low back tightness after 18. Shoulder or elbow pain during your swing. A frustrating drop in distance or consistency.

Most golfers hear the same advice: rest, ice, swing easier.
It rarely fixes the real issue.


Why Golfers Get Hurt (and Stay Hurt)

Golf is a high-speed rotational sport. A full swing can exceed 90–120 mph clubhead speed in amateurs, placing significant stress on the spine, hips, shoulders, and elbows.

When one area lacks mobility or control, your swing compensates somewhere else—and that’s where problems start.

  • Limited hip or thoracic rotation → stress on the low back
  • Poor shoulder mobility → overload at the elbow
  • Weak core → loss of power and control

Key stat: Low back pain accounts for up to 25–35% of golf injuries.


A Better Approach: Golf-Specific Physical Therapy

At Epic Physical Therapy, we don’t separate your injury from your swing.

Using principles from the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), we evaluate how your body and swing interact.

Your assessment focuses on:

  • Mobility (hips, thoracic spine, shoulders)
  • Stability (core control, balance)
  • Movement patterns influencing your swing

Your body determines your swing.
