Sports Performance Enhancement in Minnesota

Throwers Program

The throwers performance enhancement program is a unique, one-on-one session for baseball pitchers and other competitive throwers. The perfect complement to sports camps and coaching activities, our program provides detailed evaluation of the mechanics and physical attributes of the overhand throwing motion, helping participants maximize each pitch or throw.

Individual Assessment

After completing a throwing questionnaire, you will be assessed by a specially trained physical therapist. The assessment covers exercise, flexibility and injury prevention. Based on the information gathered in the questionnaire and assessment, an exercise prescription is formulated according to your needs, strengths and weaknesses. Our focus is on helping you perfect your throwing mechanics, as well as improving body leverage.

Biomechanical Video Analysis

As part of the physical assessment, a digital video captures your throwing motion. Every aspect of the throw is scrutinized, including trunk rotation, step, lunging movement and shoulder range of motion. A copy of the video, along with a biomechanical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each component, will be provided to you following the session for review later.

Perfecting Mechanics

The throwers program isn't intended to teach a specific pitch or other strategic component. Our program is an extremely effective supplement to camp or coaching activities because it provides individualized attention to the mechanics of throwing. Our experienced physical therapists will help you to perfect throws you have learned, using the body to its full potential.

The throwers performance enhancement program gives the beginning pitcher or thrower confidence in throwing safely and pain free, and gives higher-level athletes the attention needed to capitalize on strengths and improve on weaknesses.
