“Sixty-eight years old. Came in for shoulder pain, stayed for the strength classes. The PT and the trainers are on the same team. Nobody else does that. My golf swing has never felt better.”

Athletics · Throwing shoulder
Prepare your shoulder to throw again.
Throwing puts specific demands on your shoulder and the rest of your body. We assess strength, rotation, and throwing mechanics, then build a progression with your coach and medical team where appropriate.
- Strength and mobility work for the demands of throwing
- Measurements of shoulder rotation and strength
- A gradual throwing program coordinated with your coach
Understanding your needs
What brings people to ADAPT for throwing shoulder?
Shoulder symptoms in throwing athletes can involve tendons, joint structures, workload, or changes in strength and movement. We assess shoulder range and strength along with how the trunk and legs contribute to throwing. Those findings guide your rehabilitation and return plan.
Common concerns- A.Pain in the front or back of the shoulder during the throwing motion
- B.Loss of velocity, command, or recovery between outings
- C.Clicking, catching, or 'dead arm' sensation
- D.Stiffness deep in the shoulder joint, especially after games
- E.Sleeping pain on the affected side

How we work
Our approach to throwing shoulder.
Your program may include shoulder mobility, shoulder-blade control, and rotator cuff strengthening. We also assess how your hips and trunk contribute to throwing. A gradual throwing program uses strength, rotation, symptoms, and workload to guide progress.

“I needed some adaptations to the exercises and Carly did great with that. I like how she checked in with me to see how I was doing. This was my first class in over 6 years. I have worked hard to get to this point. She gave me the confidence to know I can do this.”

“It is times like this that I truly wish there was a 6 star option. From the initial visit to the coaches checking in with my progress after classes, I could not be happier with my ADAPT experience. They have exceeded all my expectations.”

What to expect
Planning your next steps.
An initial program for tendon-related symptoms may run 6–12 weeks. Labral injuries may need 3–6 months of rehabilitation, and surgical cases may follow a 6–9 month return-to-throwing plan or longer. Your surgeon's protocol and response to care guide the timeline.
What your plan includes
- Comprehensive assessment. A review of your goals, history, and current abilities, with measurements to track progress.
- A plan built for your body. Exercises and activities chosen for your goals and assessment findings.
- Same practitioner, every visit. A practitioner who knows your history and adjusts the plan as you progress.
- Support for continued progress. Regular reviews and coordinated training help you keep working toward your goals.
