Too many times we hear stories from athletes who had no guidance on their return to throw program after finishing rehab.

“Here’s your program, start throwing. You’re discharged.”

This is neglecting the most important part of a baseball players rehab, and it’s usually because providers just don’t know how to do it.

Our return to throw programs are individualized for the athlete, because every situation is different.

A MLB reliever’s return to throw should look different than a middle school infielder’s return to throw.

If you need help getting back throwing pain-free, give us a call.

MEET THE TEAM

Dr. Nathan “Nate” Harris is the owner and founder of Velocity Sports Physical Therapy. Dr. Nate is a physical therapist, athletic trainer, and strength coach who specializes in treating athletes. He has spent time working in both the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks, and the MLB with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Dr. Nate started Velocity Sports PT with the mission to bring professional level sports rehab to the lowcountry. Too often he had witnessed athletes go back to sports without proper treatment and gotten reinjured. He sought to change that and provide individual, sport specific, high quality rehab to the greater Charleston area. In the past five years, Velocity has been fortunate enough to have 1,000+ athletes trust us with their care in getting them back on the field better, faster, and stronger!

OUR TEAM IS GROWING!

Please welcome Dr. Aidan Kennedy!

Aidan earned his B.S. in Exercise Science and Kinesiology from James Madison University and completed his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Old Dominion University.

Growing up playing football and basketball, Aidan experienced firsthand the challenges of injury after tearing his ACL during his junior year of high school. That experience inspired his commitment to not only guide athletes through rehab, but to elevate their performance beyond pre-injury levels.

AVOIDING SHOULDER SURGERY AND PLAYING ENTIRE SEASON WITHOUT PAIN

Frank came to us with shoulder pain and an MRI showing that he had a tear in his shoulder and would need surgery. With aspirations of playing college football and wanting to play his senior year, his high school athletic trainer gave him our info (shoutout Lauren), and he reached out to us.

Our evaluation showed significant weakness of his shoulder musculature, limited shoulder mobility, and overall avoidance of overhead activities.

Frank trusted the process, put in the work, and saw MASSIVE benefits. In just 3 months he saw his strength jump 64%! Not to mention he was able to play his entire senior year without pain!

If you are an athlete and looking to get back to your sport without pain, reach out and our team of sports medicine specialists will get you right.

SETTING NEW VELO PR’S AFTER TOMMY JOHN

Jackson came to us having already had one elbow surgery, and with an MRI confirming a UCL tear and Tommy John surgery scheduled. Understandably, he was nervous about his baseball future.

Not every rehab is smooth sailing, but Jackson kept his head up through the tough times and put the work in every step of the way. He worked hard at regaining mobility, then gaining shoulder and elbow strength, and finally through his throwing and bullpen program.

Fast-forward a year later, and he hit a 3 mph personal record off the mound of 93 mph!

Proud to be a part of his team to get him to this point.

If you are a baseball player in the lowcountry and are dealing with pain or an injury, reach out via DM or our website. Our team of baseball rehab experts would be happy to help!

INJURED AND MISSING RACES TO TYING PR’S

This is Hans, and he has great handwriting.

All jokes aside, Hans first came in with knee pain that limited him with running. As a cross country and track athlete, that was pretty important.

He was sitting out his senior year of track because of this pain, and he was nervous that he would miss the entire season.

After our evaluation, we reassured him that he would be back this year. We gave him a clear plan on how to strengthen his knee and build his running pace back to race pace.

He put in the work and was able to return faster than expected, and he even tied his PR in his first race back!

We love helping athletes get back to doing what they love pain free. If you or someone you know is looking for sports specific physical therapy, give us a call. We would love to help!

FROM SCHEDULING SHOULDER SURGERY TO PAIN-FREE THROWING

When Noah first came to us, he had pain throwing 50 miles an hour and was told that he would need shoulder surgery. As someone who was throwing mid 80’s previously, this was a huge setback. He was dejected and upset that he would likely miss his spring baseball season.

After we completed our evaluation, we identified areas to work on and address his deficits. We emphasized shoulder strength, stability, and scapular control. We slowly built his throwing velocity over the span of the months we worked together to get him back to max effort without pain.

By the end of our rehab, he was doing max effort pulldowns pain-free and was able to get back to his spring baseball season without limitations!

We love helping our athletes stay on the field and avoid surgeries. If you or someone you know is looking for sports specific physical therapy, give us a call. We would love to help.
