Spring is around the corner!⚾ Despite all the snow and ice 🥶, a lot of baseball players have already started throwing in preparation for the upcoming season. Jake Sullivan, one of our PTs that specializes in overhead athlete rehabilitation, offers insight on how to protect the arms of youth baseball players. Give it a read, and share with a friend to help keep this upcoming season injury-free! 💪

🌟Patient Spotlight🌟
⚫️
Tammy came to work with Anna and Breanne for her rehab after a Total Knee Replacement late last year. Tammy approached her physical therapy sessions with a positive attitude, appreciated how each exercise helps her move more comfortably and confidently. She is enthusiastic about how much easier if is for her to spend time in her garden and enjoying things like feeding her fish. The progress Tammy has made allows her to enjoy time with her family pain-free and with improved functional mobility. Congratulations Tammy!
