Elevate Your Game with Empower U’s Golf Training Services in Sioux Falls and Omaha
At Empower U, we know that no two golfers are the same, which is why we tailor our golf training services to meet your unique needs and goals. We are proud to have Alex Trautman from Omaha and Jake Tuholsky from Sioux Falls on our team, both of whom hold TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) certifications. This prestigious certification is the industry standard for golf-specific fitness and biomechanics, designed to help golfers improve performance while minimizing injury risks. Having TPI-certified professionals on our team means Alex and Jake possess the in-depth knowledge needed to evaluate, train, and rehabilitate golfers based on the body-swing connection, giving them a unique authority in the golf world.
What is TPI Certification?
A TPI certification signifies expertise in golf-specific body mechanics, fitness, and performance. Certified professionals are trained to assess how a golfer’s body functions during a swing, identifying physical limitations and how they affect swing mechanics and injury potential. This holistic understanding allows Alex and Jake to create programs that are finely tuned to the demands of golf, addressing everything from strength and flexibility to balance and rotational power. With their TPI training, Alex and Jake are equipped to help you not only recover from injuries but also enhance your golf performance in ways that traditional physical therapy cannot.

1. Targeted Rehabilitation
If you’re dealing with a golf-related injury or have recently undergone surgery, the road back to the course can feel daunting. With Alex and Jake’s TPI certification, they offer targeted rehabilitation plans that focus on the precise muscle groups, movements, and biomechanics required for golf. Their deep understanding of golf swing mechanics allows them to design highly specific treatment programs to address your injury while ensuring that your rehabilitation improves your ability to swing without pain. From rotator cuff injuries to lower back pain, you will receive a customized plan that not only heals but also optimizes your return to the course.
2. Injury Prevention
Golf may not seem like a high-risk sport, but repetitive stress and improper mechanics can lead to chronic issues over time. By analyzing your swing using their TPI expertise, Alex and Jake can pinpoint potential areas of risk before they lead to injury. This advanced approach to injury prevention goes beyond general conditioning; it looks at how your specific physical limitations—such as restricted hip rotation or poor core stability—may be contributing to poor swing mechanics and higher injury risk. They’ll then design a custom exercise regimen to improve your body’s mobility, strength, and flexibility, giving you the tools to play more consistently and safely.
3. Performance Enhancement
Golf is a sport of precision, endurance, and power, and even minor physical improvements can lead to major gains on the course. Whether you’re aiming to increase your driving distance, enhance your accuracy, or lower your handicap, Alex and Jake’s TPI training allows them to take a comprehensive approach to performance enhancement. They don’t just work on general conditioning; they focus on the specific physical demands of the golf swing. By incorporating strength training, endurance exercises, and power development, they can help you achieve longer drives, more precise shots, and better overall play. With their expert guidance, you’ll not only play better but feel stronger and more confident in your game.
4. Comprehensive Approach
At Empower U, we take a holistic approach to golf-related health and performance. Our golf training services incorporate everything from manual therapy techniques to correct muscle imbalances, to specific exercise prescriptions designed to enhance your golf performance. Alex and Jake will also educate you on proper body mechanics, swing technique, and self-care strategies that you can implement both on and off the course. This comprehensive care helps address underlying issues that could be holding you back, ensuring better long-term results and fewer setbacks.

Empower U is the real deal! Most recently, I participated in the EU Golfers Strength and Mobility Program. I have been a lifelong golfer, but it was not until I went through this program that I TRULY learned how to get the most out of my swing. For me, specifically, this program helped me develop better sequencing for my swing, as well as using ground force more effectively. Jake developed a well thought out program that builds upon itself through each session. Jake is obviously well versed in body mechanics and function. He took on an individualistic approach as the various participants had different areas of strengths and weaknesses.

I had an amazing experience at Empower U! I worked with Erik Hanson and he was great. Going into it I was a bit hesitant that it would take me much longer to start feeling better due to ongoing injuries over the last 2 years. Erik was able to tackle each of them one session at a time by applying different techniques and rehab work for me to do daily. He also answered all the questions I had and explained why we were doing certain movements. Five sessions later and I feel much better about my hip, back and shoulder pains and am confident that the tools he gave me will allow me to lift heavy weights without pain again.
