Top-Rated Baseball Physical Therapy

We treat the full spectrum of baseball and softball injuries, with particular expertise in throwing-related problems. This includes shoulder impingement, rotator cuff strains, UCL (Tommy John) injuries, elbow tendinitis, labral tears, and scapular dyskinesis. We also address lower body issues that affect throwing mechanics like hip impingement and core weakness. Our team sees numerous baseball and softball players every week, giving us unmatched experience
with sport-specific injury patterns.

Baseball physical therapy requires deep understanding of throwing biomechanics and the specific demands placed on a pitcher's or position player's arm. We analyze your entire kinetic chain – from your feet through your fingertips – because throwing is a full-body movement. Generic shoulder exercises won't address the precise muscle timing, strength ratios, and movement patterns needed for safe, effective throwing. Our Thrower's Success Roadmap is specifically designed for baseball and softball athletes.

This depends entirely on your specific injury and pain levels. Some athletes can continue modified activity while addressing underlying movement dysfunctions, while others need complete rest initially. We work closely with coaches to develop throwing progressions that allow you to stay involved with your team when possible. Our goal is always to keep you doing as much as safely possible – we understand that athletes want to train and compete.

We use advanced 3D motion analysis to break down your throwing mechanics and identify movement patterns that contribute to injury risk. This includes analyzing your stride length, arm slot, hip-shoulder separation, and follow-through. We then develop specific exercises and drills to address these mechanical flaws while building the strength and mobility needed to maintain proper form. Many athletes discover they can throw harder and more accurately
after addressing these issues.

Absolutely. While pitchers face the highest throwing volumes and injury rates, position players have their own unique demands and injury patterns. Catchers deal with repetitive squatting and throwing from awkward positions, infielders make quick, powerful throws across the diamond, and outfielders need long-distance accuracy. Position players also commonly experience hip, knee, and muscle strain injuries due to the explosive movements required in baseball. We tailor our approach based on your specific position and throwing demands, whether you're a weekend tournament player or competing at the collegiate level.

Prevention starts with proper mechanics, adequate strength and mobility, and smart training loads. We teach athletes how to recognize early warning signs of overuse, maintain proper arm care routines, and build the kinetic chain strength needed to handle high throwing volumes. Many of our baseball athletes continue with maintenance programs during their season to monitor throwing loads and address minor issues before they become major problems.
