Athlete A, an 11-year-old pitcher, serves as a testament to the effectiveness of Adapt Physical Therapy’s approach and the transformative power of 3motionAI technology. Athlete A started at the clinic in March with right shoulder pain and deficits in multiple areas, including his spine and hips. After undergoing physical therapy exercises and a custom return-to-throwing protocol, Athlete A’s mechanics were assessed using 3motionAI reporting tool. Significant deficits were identified, and with continued physical therapy, structured throwing, and education, Athlete A was able to return fully to the season as a pitcher.
His mechanical efficiency improved, and these improvements were sustained throughout the year, culminating in a championship game victory. Athlete A’s success story underscores the potential of Adapt Physical Therapy’s comprehensive approach to injury prevention and performance enhancement.
By providing accessible, high-quality resources, Adapt Physical Therapy and 3motionAI are revolutionizing baseball training and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to excel in America's National Pastime.
