We recently welcomed back Erik Ritchie, a pitcher in the Phillies organization, after he spent time in Clearwater for their off-season camp. Whether you’re a professional athlete, college player, or high school standout, coming back to Petroski Physio after being in season or with your team is an important transition—and one we take seriously.
When an athlete returns to us, we start by gathering all the details. What was their injury history while away? Did they experience any aches or pains? What were they working on with their team or coach? These conversations are critical to building a rehab or performance program that works for them, and to help them to accomplish their goals. Creating plans dedicated to how their body specifically moves is not only important in their performance program but also in rehab plans.
For instance, if Erik had been fine-tuning his pitching delivery during camp, we’d make sure our programs align with that focus. The last thing we want is to counteract the progress an athlete has already made. Instead, we strive to complement their training and help them move closer to their goals.
We also take a look at the athlete’s performance. It’s not just about rehabbing an injury or improving strength; it’s about creating a plan that builds on what they’ve already achieved. By staying connected to their coaches or organizations, we ensure our strategies are enhancing their overall development—not duplicating or conflicting with their existing work.
Collaboration is key. We stay in sync with the athlete’s team, organization, or skills coach to ensure everyone is on the same page. This partnership allows us to craft a seamless plan that supports the athlete’s progress in the gym and their performance on the field.
Whether you’re a professional athlete like Erik, a collegiate player, or a high school athlete, Petroski Physio is here to help you recover, train, and achieve your goals. We understand the demands of competitive sports and are dedicated to helping you come back stronger every time.
