Introduction: Why the Off-Season Is Your Secret Weapon
When the cold weather hits Connecticut and frost covers the greens, most golfers pack up their clubs and say, “See you next season.”
But here’s the truth:
Winter is the most important season for your body and your golf game.
This is when:
- Golf injuries finally get addressed
- Real golf strength is built
- Mobility improves
- Your swing becomes more consistent
- And next year’s breakthroughs are created
- This is how you stop repeating the same frustrations every season.
And that’s exactly where Dr. Mark and I step in.
As TPI medical providers, we live by one core belief:
Your body dictates your golf swing.
If your hips are tight, your thoracic spine doesn’t rotate, or your stabilizers are weak… your swing will find a way to adapt — usually in ways that create pain or inconsistency.
Those compensations show up as:
- Low back pain in golfers
- Elbow or shoulder issues
- Loss of power
- Mishits
- A swing that doesn’t feel “repeatable”
When we understand your golf mobility, movement limitations, and strength gaps, we can help you build a swing that’s smoother, stronger, and more reliable.
If You Played in Pain This Season (Low Back, Shoulder, Elbow, Hips):
If your lower back barked after every round…
If your elbow or shoulder flared when you tried to increase swing speed…
If you went through the season managing pain instead of fixing it…
This winter is the time to deal with what your body has been trying to tell you.
Instead of icing and stretching forever, we help you:
- Find the root cause of your golf pain
- Correct the movement issues behind it
- Rebuild strength and stability
- Return to golf pain-free
Pain-free golf next season starts with what you do now, not in April.
If Your Strength or Energy Wasn’t Where It Should Be
Maybe you noticed:
- Fatigue on the back nine
- Trouble staying stable on uneven lies
- A drop in power late in the round
- Feeling like your legs “died” halfway through
This is where smart golf strength training comes in.
And no...not random exercises from the internet.
We focus on:
- What your swing specifically needs
- What your body struggles with
- How to build power safely and intentionally
When you get stronger the right way:
- Your sequencing improves
- Your club speed climbs
- Your body becomes resilient
- You swing with confidence
The winter gives us the perfect window to build this foundation.
If Your Mishits Didn’t Make Sense
Thin shots. Toe strikes. Heel strikes. Chunks.
The “Why is this happening?” frustration.
Here’s a secret:
Golf mishits are often a body problem, not a swing problem.
Here's what we see all the time:
- Tight hips → posture changes mid-swing
- Limited thoracic rotation → path issues
- Weak glutes → loss of angles
- Poor stability → inconsistent strike
When your body can’t perform the movements the golf swing needs, inconsistency shows up at impact.
Fix the body → fix the pattern → fix the strike.
Often without rebuilding your swing.
If You Want More Distance, Speed, and Performance
If you feel good and want more power, mobility, or speed…
Winter is your playground.
With no weekly rounds to recover from, we can safely:
- Train golf rotation
- Improve hip mobility
- Increase thoracic rotation
- Develop real clubhead speed
- Build explosive strength
This is where golfers make the biggest jumps, not in-season.
Conclusion: Your Off-Season Invitation
At the heart of everything we do is our mission:
We give you the confidence to move freely and explore your untapped potential in golf and in life.
If next season you want to:

Winter is the time to do it right.
As the Connecticut golf season wraps up, consider this your invitation:
Not to step away from your game… but to invest in it.
Dr. Mark and I are here to help you heal better, build strength, improve your mobility, and prepare for a golf season that feels completely different.
If you’re ready to move better, feel better, and play better…
This off-season is your moment.
We’d love to help you get On Point.
