Were you rounding the bases and felt a pop on the backside of your thigh?

Chances are, you had a hamstring strain. Hamstrings are one of the most common lower body injuries for baseball players, and unfortunately can keep a player on the sidelines for a few weeks.

What's need to come back from them?

Depending on the severity, a hamstring strain can take anywhere from 4-12 weeks (mild ones can come back quicker than more severe).

With most hamstring injuries, building up strength will be crucial for return, but it does not stop there. This is where a lot of players will see a re-tear, they feel strong, test strong, but they have not reloaded the tissue back after building strength.

In order to get back to full playing time, you will need to slowly introduce sprinting back into your work, before playing in a game and trying to leg out an infield hit.

Once strength is built up, we can start to introduce 10 yard sprints, progressing to 20, then 30 yard sprints.

The most annoying part for a player is that they will not feel any pain in the hamstring but the moment they try to sprint, they reaggravate it. So be patient with them, or you will miss more playing time

Our expert therapists are here to help build your program back out. If are suffering from a hamstring strain, schedule an evaluation, we'll get you back to the field. Hit the link in our bio.

Do you struggle finishing over your lead leg as a pitcher?

The Assisted T-hip mobility drill is one of my favorite exercises to teach a pitcher how to control their lead leg at foot contact!

The band helps rotate you into your lead hip and provides a little resistance to get out of that position, really making you own it. You should have most of your weight on your front foot while doing this.

Make sure that your front knee does not move while you rotate, it should point forward the entire time. The movement should be coming from your pelvis, where you should get a big glute burn!

If you cannot do this slow and under control, there is no way you will be able to control that lead leg when you land in a violent action of pitching!

Need help hitting the positions you need as a pitcher? Allow our baseball physical therapists to get you into those positions! Schedule an evaluation today, hit the link in our bio

You're having elbow pain as a pitcher. Why?

The elbow takes on a lot of force during each pitch, it has been shown that your arm actually takes on forces greater than 2x the amount of your body weight! That is a lot for a small joint to take on!

Any small change to the body or compensation that the elbow has to make, can greatly increase those forces.

One thing we see often in pitchers is that when their elbow hurts, they actually lack shoulder External Rotation. What is Shoulder External Rotation? It is the ability for the arm to rotate back. Think layback in your delivery.

Why does this matter? When you lack Shoulder External Rotation, your elbow will try to make that mobility back up, usually gapping at the elbow. This can be extremely bad for your elbow when it repeatedly does this at high forces!

We've seen it many times, unlocking Shoulder External Rotation can clear up a lot of elbow issues.

When your son says he has low back pain, the immediate fear has been, does he have a fracture?

A low back fracture (called spondylolysis or a fracture of the pars interarticularis) can be devastating news for a parent or a player. We are starting to see a rise in these in the middle school to high school aged player as well!

What does recovery of this look like though?

Depending on the extent of the fracture and the location of the fracture a brace may be recommended. HOWEVER, this does not mean completely shut down, lay on the couch, just let it heal. That can actually set you back a few weeks.

Newer evidence has suggested that starting Physical Therapy immediately upon diagnosis leads up to 20% better recovery and can return to sport up to 38 days (!!!) sooner than not starting PT immediately!

During the relative rest phase of recovery, it is best practice to start working on reasons the lower back was taking on that increased stress. Improving hip mobility and core stability go a long way during this phase.

Once pain has gone down, and the player is not experience pain with movement testing, we can start introducing light strength based exercises, usually limiting squatting and deadlifting patterns until the player is demonstrating great form with those patterns.

Once strength is added we can start to reintroduce baseball-specific loading. This means we can start tee work --> front toss -->to BP

Pitchers will start throwing at 45-60 feet and we can start their throwing progression back to the mound

Remember, starting PT early gets you back to the diamond much quicker!!

Attention Westfield, Carmel, and Noblesville Baseball Parents: Is your son’s elbow holding him back? ⚾️🤕

Lingering soreness isn't just "part of the game"—it's a sign that the body is overcompensating for something. When a high school or collegiate athlete's performance starts to dip because of pain, "toughing it out" is the worst move they can make.

At Integrated Performance, we provide elite physical therapy and strength coaching specifically for the serious ballplayer. Our therapists have worked with NFL and MLB pros, and we use that same data-driven approach to get your son back on the field.

We don't just treat the injury; we correct the movement patterns that caused it.

Ready to get him back in the lineup?

Elite care for the serious athlete. 📈🔥

Why do pro athletes recover faster and stay on the field longer? Because they have access to a specific standard of care. At Integrated Performance, we’ve brought that pro-level standard to you.

Whether you’re rehabbing an injury or trying to stay ahead of one, our evaluations are designed to find the leaks in your performance before they become a problem. Get your body right, stay on the field, and perform at your highest level.

Is your son arching his back when he pitches? ⚾️🤕

It might look like a "mechanical flaw," but it’s often a physical restriction. If an athlete can’t properly load their hip, their body will naturally arch the lower back to compensate. Over a long season, this is a recipe for back pain and lost velocity.

At Integrated Performance, we specialize in finding these "hidden" causes of pain. We use exercises like the Half Kneeling Hip Hinge to teach athletes how to use their hips as the engine of their delivery, protecting their spine and improving efficiency.

We bring pro-level standards to local Westfield, Carmel, and Noblesville athletes to get them back to the field better than before.

Why pro pitchers prioritize external rotation strength... and why your son should too. ⚾️💪

During my time with the Minnesota Twins, shoulder stability was a daily priority. Why? Because a strong shoulder is a durable shoulder.

If the shoulder isn't strong enough to get into the right positions at the right time, performance suffers and the injury risk sky-rockets. We see this constantly with collegiate and high school athletes—the body is moving fast, but the shoulder can't keep up.

At Integrated Performance, our therapists have worked at the highest level of baseball. We bring those same evaluations and treatments to your athlete to ensure they return to the field better (and stronger) than before.
