THE GOALS
- Emphasis on prevention, resulting in optimal injury-free playing.
- Achieve the best position for health throughout your athlete’s playing career.
- Assess recent injuries or current pain in your player’s hand, elbow, shoulder, back, hip, knee and ankle.
HOW IT WORKS
- One-on-one assessment performed by WSPT’s clinical Doctors of Physical Therapy for a body part based on movement observation by the therapist or by pain complaints.
- Each athlete will perform a series of functional movements in order to point out any injuries and to predict the occurrence of future injuries. This is a similar test that is done on all NFL and MLB professional athletes and has proven to predict 66% of all players that will get injured that season (before the injury occurs).
- All 692 players can access via videos accessed on WSPT’s website, participants will receive an individualized set of recommended exercises to support injury prevention.
- Exercises address deficits discovered during the analysis and act to protect her muscles and joints as the season progresses and into her potential collegiate career.
- WSPT is available to set up more comprehensive evaluation and therapy sessions should the movement mechanics or pain remain unchanged.
COMMON PROBLEM AREAS
- Stiff or weak ankles after rolls, sprains, or fractures.
- Knee, hip, or back pain from repetitive jumping, hitting, and landing.
- Shoulder pain from muscle imbalances, previous injuries, or repetitive hitting motions.
