🏌️‍♂️ Body Rotation in the Golf Swing — It Starts with How You Move

At Eagle Harbor Health, Dr. Kirk Petheram is TPI Level 1 Certified through the Titleist Performance Institute — the world leader in understanding how the body’s movement affects the golf swing.

Through a TPI full-body screening, we can assess how your mobility, balance, and flexibility contribute to your golf performance — and we can do it in less than 10 minutes.

The goal isn’t to change your swing; it’s to help you understand how your body moves, where you may be restricted, and how improving those patterns can help you move more comfortably both on and off the course.

⛳ TPI Certification focuses on the Body–Swing Connection™ — helping golfers of all ages learn more about their movement and reduce unnecessary strain.

What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is a gentle technique that uses light suction on the skin to encourage circulation and support relaxation. The cups are placed on specific areas of the body to help ease muscle tension and promote a soothing, restorative experience.

During a cupping session, you may feel a light pulling sensation as the cups create suction. The process can leave temporary marks that fade within a few days — these are a normal response to increased blood flow in the area.

Cupping is often used alongside chiropractic or massage care to:
✔ Support muscle recovery and flexibility
✔ Encourage circulation and relaxation
✔ Provide a natural way to support overall wellness

At Eagle Harbor Health, we offer cupping therapy as part of our integrative approach to care — helping you move, feel, and function at your best.

Myth: Chiropractic care only treats back pain.
Fact: While back pain is a common reason people visit a chiropractor, chiropractic care supports much more than that.

Chiropractors are trained to evaluate how the spine, muscles, and nervous system work together — which means care can also help address neck discomfort, headaches, sciatica, and other musculoskeletal issues.

Many chiropractors also provide guidance on posture, movement, stretching, and healthy lifestyle habits to support your overall well-being.

It’s all about helping your body move and function at its best — not just relieving pain.

👐 Did You Know?

The word “chiropractic” comes from the Greek words cheir (hand) and praktos (done) — meaning “done by hand.”

While manual healing techniques date back thousands of years, modern chiropractic began 130 years ago, in 1895, when Daniel David Palmer performed the first recorded chiropractic adjustment and later opened the first chiropractic school in Davenport, Iowa.

Since then, chiropractic has grown into a regulated healthcare profession that emphasizes a holistic, drug-free approach to improving health and mobility. Today, chiropractors in all 50 states complete extensive education and national board exams before becoming licensed providers.

Over the last century, chiropractic has become part of mainstream healthcare—offered in hospitals, military bases, and veterans’ medical centers nationwide—as research continues to support its role in promoting safe, non-drug pain management and overall wellness.

✨ More than 35 million people visit a chiropractor each year, reflecting 130 years of growth, science, and dedication to hands-on care.
