The Movement Driven Podcast: Golf Mobility and Power

Greg Goldberger • November 12, 2025

The connection between mobility, rotation, and power in golf — and how to use it to improve your swing.

In this educational episode of The Movement Driven Podcast, Dr. Greg Goldberger breaks down what every golfer should know about rotational power, mobility, and performance.

From hip rotation to thoracic spine control, golfers rely on efficient movement to generate strength and accuracy — but many overlook how limited mobility can quietly sabotage their swing.

Dr. Greg explains why proper movement prep is just as important as practice on the course, and how improving your hip and thoracic spine mobility can not only add distance to your drive but also protect your back, knees, and shoulders from strain.

Listeners will also learn how Movement Driven’s TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) assessments identify key limitations that affect rotation, posture, and power — helping golfers train smarter and stay pain-free.

If you’ve been struggling to add power, feel restricted in your swing, or just want to move more efficiently both on and off the course, this episode will help you understand exactly where your movement might be holding you back.


Key Topics Covered:
  • What rotational mobility really means for golfers
  • Why hip and thoracic spine rotation are essential for power
  • How dry needling and manual therapy reset your body’s movement patterns
  • The science behind two-minute mobility holds
  • How the TPI assessment identifies your swing’s weak spots
  • Why mobility and stability must work together for lasting performance

Ideal For:
Golfers, tennis players, baseball players, and anyone who wants to improve rotational strength, prevent injuries, and play pain-free.
