  Ian Manning M.S.P.T. is certified through the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI). TPI has been conducting research on professional and amateur golfers for many years on how the body affects the golf swing. TPI has developed screening techniques that will highlight weaknesses and strength deficits in the body, which will lead to swing faults. If you can correct these deficits in the body it will lead to a better swing. Ian has two different certifications. One is for injury specific treatment and the other is for fitness enhancement. Golf Therapy Program: The Golf Therapy Program is for patients who are injured due to playing golf or who are injured and want to return to golf. The golf swing, if performed improperly, can cause many injuries in all joints of the body. These injuries can lead to pain during and after golf and eventually an inability to play. Golf Fitness Program: The fitness program is designed to improve your strength and flexibility to get your swing on a better path. This will give you a more consistent swing, which will increase distance, improve ball striking and lower your score. Whether you are a high handicap player who is looking to lower your score and develop a more consistent swing or a scratch golfer who is looking for 10 more yards off the tee the Golf Fitness Program is for you. The golf swing is a dynamic motion that requires a lot of flexibility and strength throughout the whole body. Any restriction in flexibility or weakness in the body can lead to a loss of distance and power. It can also lead to a swing that is off plane that will cause inconsistent ball striking and a hook or slice.
