Whether it’s throwing a football or pitching a baseball, the overhead or throwing athlete is exposed to tremendous forces during overhead sports. The Overhead/Throwing Program at Forward Motion PT is focused on the particular health needs of these unique athletes. Research studies help us to identify those aspects of the overhead/throwing mechanism that are most demanding biomechanically as well as identifying those athletes potentially at risk for injury during this activity. This helps to create preventative conditioning and training programs to help them avoid injury.
Our Interval Throwing Program (ITP) is designed to gradually return motion, strength and confidence in the throwing arm after injury or surgery by slowly progressing through graduated throwing distances. The ITP is initiated upon clearance by the athlete’s physician to resume throwing, and performed under the supervision of the rehabilitation team.
