How are we different
Report
We specialize in the biomechanical analysis of function. It's not enough to treat the area of pain. We have to look for the cause. Back pain can come from a tight hip, rigid foot, or lack of shoulder motion. An ACL tear can be caused by pelvic malalignment, shoulder restriction, glut weakness, or structural torsion.
Video Library
Report
If you are a softball or baseball athlete and want to improve pitching speed and accuracy, improving fielding reach in the outfield, and ball tracking in the batter's box. Running faster isn't just about turning your feet over or being in shape. Being efficient with proper joint glide and muscle fire can go a long way to vastly improving performance in a short amount of time.
Labrum Repair
Report
A labral repair is a significant surgery that can take 4-6 months to fully recover from depending on your level of activity. We treat A LOT of hips, both pre-operatively in trying to prevent surgery and post operatively when surgery is the best option for you. Below I have tried to create easy access to to any information you might need as this can be an overwhelming diagnosis.
Pitching Assessment
Report
Pitching is not is not a position for the faint of heart. You must have a short memory, an endless work ethic, a relentless attention to small details, and the ability to combine ferocious power with relaxed whip. There are a million small parts of the pitch that can make or break your outing and you have control over a lot more of them than you think.
