⛳️ With spring just around the corner, golfing season will be upon us before we know it. Now is a great time to get a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) movement screen in order to get your body in the right condition for the upcoming season.

⛳️ A TPI screen is a simple series of tests to quickly evaluate a player’s physical capabilities. The results of that assessment are used to create a plan unique for that golfer and may include mobility drills, strength exercises and manual therapy.

⛳️ Dr. Schneider is a certified Level 2 Medical provider and has plenty of experience creating clear plans to prevent the risk of injury, as well as treating any existing golf injuries. Book a screen today to help get your body in the best physical shape for this season.

NEW TREATMENT ALERT ‼️

⭐️ HOT STONE MASSAGE with Dan Hopkins ⭐️

🔹During your treatment Dan will use a combination of traditional massage techniques as well as incorporating the use of jade stones to help relieve sore muscles and joint pain.

🔹Jade stones can be heated or cooled and are placed on or under the body as well as used directly for massage. Jade has a very high density and can hold temperatures very well. Adding jade stones to your massage treatment brings the benefits of hydrotherapy and thermotherapy. When using stones, Dan can work deeper into the muscle tissue to release muscle tension and localized pain with less discomfort. Chilled stones can also be added to reduce inflammation and swelling. When used together, hot and cold stones can create a feeling of a vascular flush to constrict and release blood vessels, promoting circulation and providing nutrients to damaged tissues.

🔹If you’re searching for relief from sore muscles or joint pain try a hot stone massage today!
