He’s also armed with a Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) certification and a Level 2-Medical certification from the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI). His approach is all about three key goals:

2. Injury Treatment: Using evidence-based techniques to zap pain and get you back in action.

3. Performance Optimization: Turning good athletes into great ones with personalized strategies.
