Golf-Fitness Training

Natalie Cooke specializes in functional movement screening, swing analysis, golf-specific exercise, and physical therapy treatment to optimize golf performance.

Natalie has attained certifications through the Titleist Performance Institute, K-Vest 3D Technology, Gray Cook's Functional Movement Screening, and has taken numerous other continuing education courses to further her manual therapy skills.

 

The Titleist Performance Institute leads the world on research and data on golf-fitness, health and swing biomechanics. TPI discovered how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible. Additionally, TPI has analyzed how physical limitations in a player's body can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury.


TPI does not believe in one way to swing a club, rather in an infinite number of swing styles. However, TPI does believe there is one efficent way for every player to swing and it is based on what the player can physically do. To achieve their most efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened to assess swing mechanics, physical fitness, and overall movement quality.

K-Vest Technology

kvest


K-Vest is a tool that can be utilized for screening, monitoring, and delivering customized exercise programs. The K-Vest uses wireless sensors to provide feedback to measure swing efficiency and proper body sequencing.he vest provides information on body angles at the address position, at the top, and at impact.

“I found the TPI evaluation invaluable. Completing the evaluation made me more aware of my posture during setup and the recommended exercises resulted in adding 10-15 yards more distance to my drives. I attribute my improved golf game to understanding how physical conditioning affects my swing. My golf handicap is now the lowest that it has ever been.”

40 Year Old Male Golfer ( 32 Handicap)

“I changed the exercises based on Natalie’s revised prescription and started lessons with the club pro. With my new flexibility and the recognition that I could do a hip rotation without injury to my back, I was doing things that I had never done before. I was hitting new career shots regularly, and my poor shots often were better than my good shots earlier in my golfing career.”

70 Year Old Male Golfer (20+ Handicap)

“My previous best round of the year was around 90. My golf game was in shambles. After 1 week with Natalie Cooke and her TPI program, I just shot 74 at Marietta CC. She's a miracle worker!”
