Shoulder, elbow, and lower back pain are standard among baseball and softball players. Improper throwing form may cause injuries in athletes of all ages. At ORA Physical Therapy, we have designed a specialized throwing program that helps athletes return to the pitching mound and outfield safely and pain-free.
Our team specializes in injury care and prevention, education, and rehabilitation services. To provide the best treatment, we take the time to evaluate and analyze your throw and develop a personalized treatment plan to improve your throwing issues, rehab your injury, and help you reach your athletic goals.
Our therapy programs are highly individualized and patient-centered. They focus on restoring a patient’s function, mobility, and strength following an injury or surgery and support athletes of all skill levels. We are dedicated to helping our patients recover, so they can continue to enjoy what they love.
If you have a new or chronic throwing injury or want to reach a higher level of throwing potential, contact ORA Physical Therapy to schedule an appointment with a throwing specialist today.
It's All in the Wrist:
Bettendorf Athlete’s Successful Surgery is Par for the Course
Thanks to ORA Orthopedics and ORA Physical Therapy, Dustin is back on the green perfecting his swing!
“To improve Dustin's strength, mobility, and coordination, I would have him pushing a sled, similar to what they use in football practice. I also knew he was a golfer. We have a set of clubs here at the ORA Therapy Clinic in Bettendorf where he would practice his swing. When he was ready, I encouraged him to go chip and putt, but instead, he came back and told me he played nine holes!”
— Michelle McMurray | MOT, OTR/L, CHT
“I work with closely with ORA’s Sports Medicine physicians and see many baseball players post-surgery. We develop a return-to-throw protocol for each patient which is a series of exercises over time that helps the player improve his or her throwing performance and progress to playing pain-free competitively again. The plan is customized for the patient and is based on their own athletic goals when returning to play.”
