What is the Armor Golf F.I.T Program?
This program was designed in 2002 by Board Certified Clinical Specialists and Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Certified Physical Therapists. The foundation of this program is to work in collaboration with the golfer and their teaching professional/swing coach. The goal of this program is to perform a comprehensive musculoskeletal evaluation and a TPI golf specific screen of the golfer looking at range of motion, strength, flexibility, and neuromuscular recruitment patterns specific to the golf swing. With the information from the evaluation and screen, we will develop a functional program that will be integrated with the drills and instruction from the teaching professional or coach to accomplish each individual golfer’s goals.
Basically, the goal of this program is not to change your swing mechanics, but to help get your body into the position that the teaching professional desires in order to achieve the desired swing. Our expertise is in musculoskeletal assessment, while the teaching professional’s expertise is in swing mechanics. Collaboratively, we are able to help any golfer, from beginner to scratch, find that optimal golf swing.
