Golf physical therapy with Brady
Your body is part of your golf game.
You might be finishing every round with a sore back, avoiding a shot because your shoulder hurts, or wondering why turning feels harder than it used to. Golf physical therapy starts with what you are feeling and what you want to get back to.
At Whole Health Solutions in Shirley, MA, the focus is your movement, strength, and recovery. Dr. Brady Flynn, PT, DPT, is a Massachusetts physical therapist and TPI Certified Level 1 professional. His TPI training supports golf-focused movement screening. Pain or an injury calls for a clinical evaluation.
We help golfers from Shirley, Ayer, Devens, Harvard, Lunenburg, Groton and nearby towns. A free consult helps you understand which next step makes sense before you book care.
Start with rehabilitation if pain, an injury or shoulder, hip, knee or spine restrictions are limiting you. TPI-informed physical therapy is medical care. Golf-performance TPI is a separate, nonmedical service for movement and physical preparation, not a substitute for rehabilitation.
Your starting point
Golf hurts, or you want to move better. Start there.
Two distinct services: TPI-informed physical therapy for rehabilitation, and separate nonmedical golf-performance TPI.
If a screen brings on pain, the next step is clinical assessment, not pushing through it.
- 1
TPI-informed physical therapy: rehab comes first
Golf-related pain, an injury or restrictions in your shoulder, hip, knee or spine call for a clinical evaluation. Your symptoms, movement and relevant medical history guide a medically appropriate rehabilitation plan. You do not need an existing diagnosis to contact us.
- 2
Golf-performance TPI: a separate nonmedical service
If your goal is physical preparation rather than treatment, golf-performance TPI can explore mobility, balance, and control. A movement screen does not diagnose an injury or predict whether you will get hurt. This is distinct from medical physical therapy.

Understand what comes next
Talk with us about your golf goals in a free consult. We explain the recommended next step and cost before you commit. Your care may focus on injury recovery, mobility or strength, with medical referral when appropriate.
The Northeast off-season
Work on what bothered you this season.
When rounds are less frequent, you have room to build a plan before spring.
Winter is not a deadline for recovery. It is an opportunity to address a recurring limitation and progress at a pace your body can tolerate.
- Settle an injuryStart with a clinical evaluation for recurring back, hip, shoulder, elbow, or wrist symptoms.
- Build capacityWork on strength, mobility, and balance that match your findings, rather than collecting more random stretches.
- Ease back into golfProgress practice and playing volume gradually, with adjustments if symptoms return. No plan can eliminate injury risk.

Brady's golf focus
Brady Flynn is listed by TPI as TPI Certified Level 1. The focus here is movement screening and golf-related rehabilitation, not swing coaching.
Assessment before exercises
Your symptoms, goals, and movement findings guide your plan. The same exercise list is not right for every golfer.
Rehab and readiness
Address an injury first, then work toward the strength and activity tolerance your next round asks of you.
Clear next steps
Know what you are working on, what to practice between visits and when to reassess.
How it works
A plan that moves with you.
Your goals and progress set the pace.
01
Relieve
For an injury, begin with an evaluation and a plan to address symptoms and activities that aggravate them.
02
Rebuild
Work on the mobility, control, and strength your assessment identifies.
03
Perform
Build tolerance for practice and rounds through a gradual return to golf.
04
Thrive
Keep working on strength and manageable playing volume, with reassessment when your needs change.
Thrive is not a finish line. When you are ready for your next goal, the same team that got you here is ready too.

Movement ideas for golfers
Shoulders, upper back, hips and core.
Explore exercises from our own library for movement areas relevant to golf and TPI screening: shoulder mobility, upper back and hip rotation, and trunk control. These are WHS demonstrations, not an official TPI routine or a substitute for an assessment.
These videos are educational, not a personal exercise prescription. Your clinician can help you choose the right starting point. Do not force your range or push through pain. Loaded rotation is not a starting point for everyone. Stop for sharp or increasing pain, numbness or tingling.
In their own words
Shawn on getting help for his shoulder.
A WHS physical therapy experience, shared by Shawn. This is not a golf or TPI testimonial.
Read what Shawn said
Shawn, "What first brought you to Whole Health?" Well, my first experience with Whole Health was actually I did a Benjamin Hill run down the road where I met Peter and Gary. But I came in to work with Peter to try to get past a stagnant level of working out. My workouts at work were consistent. I wasn't really deviating from anything, but I was looking for a change. And on top of all that, I came in with a shoulder injury, and I needed to work through that, and I was looking for help.

Thanks to my personal trainer, Courtney, and the entire WHS team, I've been able to return to the active lifestyle I enjoy. I'm back to playing plenty of golf, coaching and playing sports with my kids, hiking, and enjoying many other outdoor activities that I wasn't sure I'd be able to do comfortably again.

I have had limited mobility in my neck and shoulder for years now. I’m already feeling so much better!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Whole Health Solutions! From the moment I walked through their doors, I knew this was going to be a different kind of physical therapy experience, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to come here.

Questions
Golf physical therapy questions, answered.
A clear starting point before you book.
What is golf physical therapy?
Golf physical therapy addresses pain, injury, and movement limitations that affect golf. It can include a clinical evaluation, rehabilitation exercises and a gradual return to practice and play, based on your needs.
Who is Brady Flynn?
Dr. Brady Flynn, PT, DPT, is a Massachusetts physical therapist and TPI Certified Level 1 professional. He earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy at Boston University in 2019. His interests include golf, baseball and hockey.
What does TPI Certified Level 1 mean?
TPI is the Titleist Performance Institute. Level 1 teaches a physical movement screen and how physical limitations can relate to golf. Brady holds the Level 1 credential.
Do I have to be injured to ask about a movement screen?
No. A golfer without pain may want to understand mobility, balance, and control. Tell us your goals in the free consult so we can explain whether a screen or another appointment makes sense.
Is a movement screen a diagnosis?
No. A movement screen identifies movement limitations to explore. It does not diagnose an injury, clear every medical concern or guarantee that you will not get hurt. Pain or an injury calls for a clinical evaluation.
Is this a swing analysis or a golf lesson?
No. Our focus is your body: movement, strength, and rehabilitation. This service does not include swing-analysis technology or ball-flight measurement. Keep working with your golf professional for swing instruction.
Can you help reduce golf injury risk?
We can work on modifiable factors such as strength, mobility, and how quickly you increase practice or playing volume. Injuries have many causes, and no screen or exercise plan can guarantee prevention.
What does it cost, and can I use insurance?
We explain the recommended service and its cost in the free consult. TPI-informed physical therapy is medical care for golf-related pain, injury or movement restrictions in areas such as the shoulder, hip, knee or spine. Medically necessary physical therapy with a qualifying diagnosis may be eligible for insurance reimbursement and HSA or FSA use, subject to your plan rules. You do not need an existing diagnosis to contact us; an evaluation helps determine what care is appropriate. Eligibility and reimbursement are not guaranteed. Most of our clients do use their insurance for reimbursement of our physical therapy services. We go over everything in the discovery meeting. Golf-performance TPI is a separate, nonmedical service for golfers working on movement and physical preparation. It is generally not eligible for physical therapy insurance reimbursement. HSA or FSA use is only possible if the service is eligible under your plan rules and you have any required medical documentation. A TPI credential or a movement screen alone does not make a performance service eligible.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds for TPI services?
It depends on the service and your plan. Medically necessary physical therapy may qualify, subject to plan rules. Nonmedical golf-performance TPI is not automatically eligible; your plan must allow it and you must have any required medical documentation. We cannot guarantee eligibility.
Do I need a diagnosis before contacting you about golf pain?
No. You do not need an existing diagnosis to contact us. A physical therapy evaluation helps determine whether rehabilitation is appropriate. Any insurance reimbursement or HSA or FSA use depends on medical necessity, your plan rules and any required documentation.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly with us. If your symptoms need medical attention first, we will tell you.
