Golf Physical Therapy & Performance Training
Golf Physical Therapy in Franklin, Brentwood & Nashville, TN
Play more golf with less pain. Whether you're dealing with back pain during your swing, shoulder pain during follow-through, hip pain in your backswing, or loss of distance off the tee, our golf-specific physical therapy and performance programs are designed to help you move better, swing faster, and stay on the course longer.
Move Better. Swing Faster. Play More Golf.
Golf is one of the most physically demanding sports on the body. Every swing requires mobility, stability, strength, balance, and coordination working together through the entire kinetic chain.
When one area loses mobility or strength, compensation occurs—and that's often when pain begins.
At Elevate615 Physical Therapy, our golf-specific physical therapy program helps golfers eliminate pain, improve movement efficiency, and maximize performance on the course.
Whether you're trying to:
- Play pain-free
- Increase club head speed
- Gain driving distance
- Improve consistency
- Recover from an injury
- Prevent future injuries
Our team can help.
Meet Carl Haley, PT, DPT

Golf physical therapy at Elevate615 is led by Carl Haley, PT, DPT, a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Certified Physical Therapist.
TPI is the gold standard in golf movement assessment and performance training.

“There is no one perfect golf swing, only the swing your body can support.”
Carl helps golfers improve the body behind the swing.

Low Back Pain During or After Golf
Back pain is one of the most common complaints among golfers.
Common causes include:
- Poor thoracic mobility
- Hip mobility restrictions
- Core weakness
- Limited rotational control
We identify the root cause and create a plan to improve mobility, strength, and swing efficiency.
Shoulder Pain During Follow-Through
Shoulder pain often develops due to rotator cuff overload, poor scapular control, thoracic stiffness, or mobility limitations.
Our goal is to restore mobility and improve the body's ability to transfer force efficiently through the swing.
Hip Pain During the Backswing
Hip mobility is critical for generating power. Restricted hips often lead to early extension, loss of distance, back pain, and swing inconsistency.
We improve mobility, stability, and strength to help you rotate freely and generate power.
Elbow Pain (Golfer's Elbow & Tennis Elbow)
Repetitive swings can create excessive stress through the elbow and forearm.
We combine manual therapy, strengthening, mobility work, and swing-specific modifications to reduce symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Neck Pain & Stiffness
Many golfers struggle to maintain posture and rotational control due to limited neck and thoracic mobility.
Treatment focuses on restoring movement while improving strength and posture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can physical therapy improve my golf swing?
Absolutely. Many swing faults are caused by mobility restrictions, strength deficits, and movement limitations. Improving how your body moves often improves swing efficiency and consistency.
Can physical therapy increase club head speed?
Yes. Through mobility training, strength development, and power-focused programming, many golfers experience measurable improvements in club head speed and driving distance.
Do I need to be injured to benefit from golf physical therapy?
Not at all. Many golfers use TPI assessments and golf performance training proactively to improve their game and reduce future injury risk.
I have back pain when I golf. Can you help?
Yes. Low back pain is one of the most common conditions we treat. Our TPI assessment helps identify whether the issue originates from the hips, thoracic spine, core, or swing mechanics.
