🏌️‍♂️ Did You Know? A Balanced Approach Supports Better Movement on the Course

Professional athletes often talk about the value of combining strength training with regular movement-based care to support how their bodies perform.

“Lifting weights and seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis has made me a better golfer… It’s as important to my training as practicing my swing.”

While everyone’s needs are unique, many golfers find that maintaining mobility, strength, and body awareness can positively influence how they move during their game.

At Eagle Harbor Health, we focus on gentle, movement-informed chiropractic care and TPI golf mobility screening to help golfers understand how their bodies move — without providing swing coaching or making performance claims.

If you’re curious about how mobility and movement patterns relate to your time on the course, we’re here to help you explore it safely and comfortably.

⛳ It Starts With Movement ⛳

Your golf swing begins long before you pick up a club — it starts with how your body moves.

At Eagle Harbor Health, Dr. Kirk Petheram uses his Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) certification to help golfers understand how mobility, balance, and stability can influence comfort and consistency on the course.

Through a quick full-body TPI screening (under 10 minutes), we identify movement patterns that may affect your swing mechanics or increase strain. From there, we share simple, practical ways to improve how your body moves — so you can enjoy the game with more ease and awareness.

🏌️‍♂️ Educational and movement-based: TPI screenings are not swing coaching and do not replace medical evaluation or treatment.

🍫 Dark Chocolate & Wellness 🍫

Did you know that enjoying dark chocolate — in moderation — can support your health in several ways?

Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, natural antioxidants that may help:
✅ Support heart and circulatory health
✅ Encourage healthy brain function and mood
✅ Protect cells from oxidative stress
✅ Support insulin sensitivity and balanced energy
✅ Provide minerals like magnesium and copper for bone strength

To experience the benefits, choose dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa and limit portions to 1–2 ounces per day.

🩺 As always, talk with your healthcare provider before making dietary changes, especially if you have underlying health conditions.
