Nick has been with Broome PT since August 2014. A native of West Corners, he graduated from Union Endicott School District in 2006. While a student at Broome Community College, he was fortunate to play golf well enough to win 4 tournaments as an individual, including the 2007 Regional Championship held at Cornell University Golf Course. After completing his undergraduate degree Magna Cum Laude in Exercise Science at University at Buffalo in 2011, he became certified through the American College of Sports Medicine as a Certified Personal Trainer. He had taken a liking to orthopedics during his previous clinical rotations, and after graduating from the university at Buffalo in 2014 with a degree in Physical Therapy, he chose to pursue a career in orthopedics. He thoroughly enjoys the challenge it presents, and the process of reaching a diagnosis and applying different intervention to each patient. In his spare time, he is passionate about playing golf and shooting archery competitively. He looks forward to meeting new patients every day and to hear the wonderful stories each patient shares on a daily basis.

Screen & Assessment

The Certified Instructor/PT will preform a physical screen and assessment of your body to identify any weak links that can lead to poor or faulty stability & mobility patterns. Those faulty patterns can lead to poor swing efficiency and altered swing styles that ultimately effect your accuracy, consistency, distance, and power. These faulty patterns may also lead to injury if not corrected.   

Swing Drills, Lessons & Exercise Programs

You will be issued a customized, golf specific exercise program that addresses any physical findings. A web based workout program will then be sent your email via The TPI website. Here, you will be able to view pictures and video which demonstrate each exercise. 

TPI Physical Screen & Assessment ........$150.00

TPI Physical Screen Re-Evaluation.........$ 50.00  (recommended every 6 weeks) 

   

Further Assessment with Bentley Kinetics K-Vest

  • Bentley Kinetics K-Vest 3D technology to analyze & improve efficiency of your swing and your Kinematic Sequence
  • Video Swing Analysis to view your swing phase fundamentals

Our facility also offers the Bentley Kinetics K-Vest which utilizes 3 point specific sensors to map your swing . This allows us to view and assess your Kinematic Sequence, your golf swing's sequence or "thumbprint",  to determine if your swing is stable & efficient or needs correction.

You are then able to review the K-Vest 3D findings with your instructor. This allows us to fully review your body movements through a full swing. From here we can create a lesson plan and drills to correct swing faults. The lesson plans are emailed to you through the K-Vest website. At that time you are able to then use the K-Vest at our facility to maximize your practice time.
