TPI-certified across four pathways. The most comprehensive golf-specific qualification held by any chiropractor in New Zealand.
Dr. Jun holds TPI Level 1, Medical Level 2, Fitness Level 2, and Power Level 2 — the full clinical stack. This means he connects your physical limitations directly to swing faults, treats the injury, and designs corrective exercise — all in one integrated plan.
Golf injuries occurring on the course or during practice qualify for ACC coverage. AWC registers your claim directly at your first visit. Co-payment is just $40 per session. No GP visit, no wait — bring your NHI number and we’ll handle the rest.
TPI’s foundational principle: every swing fault has a physical cause. Dr. Jun’s 16-point physical screen maps your body’s restrictions directly to your swing characteristics — then treats both the physical problem and its performance consequence.
Beyond TPI, Dr. Jun holds Active Release Technique (ART) certification for precise soft tissue work, SFMA for movement pattern assessment, and FMS for functional screening. For complex golf presentations, this breadth is clinically decisive.
Additional qualifications: SFMA · FMS · ART Certified · CrossFit Trainer · NZCC Registered
Golf places repetitive rotational stress on the spine, hips, and upper limbs. These are the most common injuries we treat in golfers across all handicap levels.
The most prevalent golf complaint. Often caused by lumbar compression, restricted hip mobility, or reverse spine angle at address. TPI screening identifies the exact driver so treatment is targeted, not generic.
Limited hip internal or external rotation forces compensatory movement through the lumbar spine. Releasing hip capsule restrictions improves rotation and reduces spinal load during the swing.
Stiffness in the thoracic spine and glenohumeral joint restricts backswing and follow-through. Adjustment and mobility work restores range of motion for a fuller, less effortful swing arc.
Repeated gripping and club impact loads the forearm flexors. Active Release Technique combined with loading rehabilitation resolves golfer’s elbow without requiring extended rest from play.
Impact-related wrist injuries and tendinopathy of the wrist extensors and flexors. Dr. Jun uses ART protocols specific to the wrist and forearm for golf-pattern strain.
Cervical restriction limits the ability to maintain a steady head position at address and through impact. Chiropractic adjustment to the cervical and upper thoracic spine improves rotational freedom.
A six-step clinical process connecting your physical findings to your swing — then treating both.
Dr. Jun begins by understanding your current injury, handicap, years playing, typical swing faults you are aware of, and any training you undertake off-course. This context shapes the entire assessment direction.
The 16-point TPI movement screen evaluates pelvic rotation, hip mobility, thoracic rotation, shoulder mobility, wrist and ankle flexibility, and core stability. Each test is standardised and scored against known norms.
Failed screen tests are mapped to known swing characteristics. For example, a failed seated trunk rotation test correlates with “over-the-top” or “loss of posture.” This provides a direct clinical rationale for each treatment decision.
Spinal or peripheral joint restrictions are addressed with precise adjustment. Soft tissue restrictions — tight hip flexors, thoracic erectors, forearm flexors — are released using Active Release Technique. Both tools work together for complete physical correction.
A targeted exercise prescription reinforces mobility and stability improvements made in-clinic. Exercises are selected based on your specific screen results and designed to be practical at home or at the range.
Follow-up screen results are compared against baseline. Measurable improvement in range of motion, strength, and golf performance markers confirms the effectiveness of the plan. A maintenance schedule is established for the season.
ACC-covered patients pay a flat $40 co-payment. Private patients receive expert TPI-certified care at clear, fixed rates.
New Zealand’s most comprehensively TPI-certified chiropractor — combining four TPI pathways with ART, SFMA, and FMS.
Sports & Disc Chiropractor — TPI Certified (L1 / M2 / F2 / P2)
Dr. Jun is AWC’s principal golf chiropractic practitioner. His TPI certification stack is one of the most comprehensive held by any chiropractor in New Zealand — combining the Golf, Medical, Fitness, and Power pathways up to Level 2 in each. This means he can address the physical screen, treat the clinical injury, design the fitness corrective plan, and advise on power development in an integrated way that a single-pathway practitioner cannot.
He also holds ART certification, SFMA, FMS, and CrossFit Trainer qualifications, giving him an unusually broad skill set for complex athletic presentations — including disc injuries, hip impingement, and shoulder instability that co-exist with performance goals.
“I can only speak highly of Jun and Dr Robin, I literally struggled to walk. I was diagnosed with having very aggressive Rheumatoid arthritis and after having an MRI this showed that I also have 4 bulging discs in my lower spine. With hand on heart with 1 session of acupuncture every week on the 3rd–4th week I felt good, my body finally felt like everything was in its right place and more importantly I was pain free.”

“Dr. Jun is outstanding. He identified exactly why my lower back was giving out on the downswing — limited hip rotation on my trail side. After three sessions of treatment and his exercise prescription I was back to full practice within the week. Best sports chiro I’ve seen in Auckland.”

“Had golfer’s elbow for over a year before coming to AWC. Dr. Jun used ART and within four visits the pain had gone. He also spotted a thoracic stiffness issue contributing to my swing compensation — something no other practitioner had identified. Highly recommend.”
