TPI Certified (Titleist Performance Institute)

“Excellent. Got me back playing county cricket after a persistent hip and groin issue. I had a diagnosis initially which turns out wasn’t quite right. Quick scan and a rehab programme. Thanks so much.”

Tommy · Alderley Edge

“As a professional golfer my hands are really important to me. I struggled after a snowsports injury and eventually had some imaging through Nick and his team. I had a rare bone issue that was swiftly picked up and referred to the right people. Ever grateful.”

Questions

Sports injury questions.

What is TPI golf screening?

The Titleist Performance Institute screen looks at how your body moves through the golf swing, to find physical limits that affect performance or lead to injury. We use it alongside a full assessment.

Can you arrange a scan quickly?

Yes. If imaging would change your plan, we arrange ultrasound, X-ray or MRI for you. Prices start from £99.

Do I have to stop training?

Not always. We’ll show you what you can keep doing safely while you recover.

How much is a sports injury assessment?

An initial assessment is £85, and rehab sessions are £50.
