Testimonial:
“Dr. Dan and Dr. Nate have put together a great course with the NPT HealthWork’s TPI Program. I was skeptical at first that some simple stretches and core exercises would have an impact on my golf game. “The only way to fix your swing is time at the range,” is what I was always told. After completing the seven-week program, I can say with confidence, that this program helped my golf game… I had concerns after my first class when I proceeded to shoot one of my worst rounds of golf the following weekend. Trying my new swing techniques and form felt uncomfortable to me. But I stuck with the stretching and core exercises throughout the seven weeks. The day before my final class, I shot the best round of my life. And did it without any pain or soreness the following day. The NPT HealthWork’s TPI program greatly improved my golf game as well as overall fitness.”
