Golf is an asymmetric sport, extremely repetitive, and forces in the wrong places will break down tissue. Changing those forces and increasing movement in those parts of the body that are restricted will decrease bodily wear and tear. Furthermore, rotation in the hips are critical for the golf swing, and there is almost always a lack of rotation through one side of our body at various joints.

While many sports involve overhead arm motions, each sport and athlete are individually unique in their mechanics and bodily patterns. If these patterns are dysfunctional, they may lead to an athlete's pain and inferior performance. Below is a list of the sports Tyler works with to help get athletes off the bench and back onto the field, court, or pool.
Baseball player
Throwing is about timing and arm position at the time of release. Shoulder or elbow pain arises most of the time with poor arm position at the incorrect time of the throwing cycle.
Swimming
Highly repetitive sport exerts force over and over at the shoulder joint. Swimming requires a balance of flexibility and strength, and this balance is often dysfunctional when pain is present.
Volleyball
High-velocity sport that requires maximal force through the shoulder, and a strong core is required to support the shoulder. The pain usually comes from not being able to control these high-velocity forces.
Pickleball
Although this is a popular leisure activity for those of all ages, pickleball requires ample coordination, foot speed, and balance. As bodies age and lose flexibility and agility, players often compensate through suboptimal mechanics, making them more prone to injury.
