Tommy John Rehab: The Road Back to Throwing
Coming back from Tommy John takes time, patience, and the right progression. We guide you through each phase of rehab with a clear plan built around getting you back to throwing.
REHAB BUILT AROUND YOU
Your rehab shouldn’t look exactly like everyone else’s. We build your plan around where you are in recovery, how you’re progressing, and what you’re working to get back to.
Individualized treatment throughout your recovery
Progressions based on how you’re responding
Rehab built around your position and level of play
A clear plan for what you’re working toward next
TEST. TRACK. PROGRESS.
We use objective testing throughout rehab to see how you’re progressing and help guide what’s next.
The early stages aren’t just about waiting for your elbow to heal. We’re already working on what you’ll need later.
Measure strength throughout the recovery process
Compare progress over time
Identify areas that still need work
Use real data to help guide your rehab and return to throwing
GET READY TO THROW AGAIN
The goal goes beyond getting your elbow healthy. We prepare you for the demands of throwing and playing baseball again.
Build strength throughout your arm and body
Progress into baseball-specific training
Prepare for the speed and force of throwing
Build toward a structured return-to-throw program
Work your way back to competing at your level

Return-to-Sport Readiness
We focus on preparing you to train, compete, and move with confidence.
This place has been amazing with my son! He has been there for 3 injuries and the time, effort and patience the PT staff have put in has been incredible. They work not only to get you “healed and feeling better” but “better and beyond where you were”. My so. Is a baseball player and they work with him to get him back to where he was prior to the injury and push him so he is even better then he was physically. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for PT, esp if you have an athletic injury!!

The team at Petroski Physio is so knowledgeable and informative with great communication. The facility is such a great environment for athletes to train and do therapy. They worked with my son for about two months and continued to work with him as he got himself back on the field. We had tried other programs and unfortunately my son’s injury would gradually come back. So happy we found Nick and his team at Petroski Physio. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Staff is absolutely awesome. Everyone’s super cool and it’s blatantly obvious how knowledgeable they are. I tell people some of the rehab i’m doing for my timeline and they are shocked to see where i am so soon. If you’re an athlete, this is the place you wanna be because you actually train and rehab to be an athlete again and not just to get back to normalcy. Others I know that had knee injuries never did the kind of exercises and training that i’m doing and it goes to show how good these guys are but also just makes me feel super confident with my recovery.

Petroski’s is not just another PT clinic. The staff cares and they take the guess work out of what to do to get yourself fixed right. I highly recommend Petroski Physio to anyone looking to get themselves feeling healthy again AND to stay that way afterwards!
Nick
The. Best. experience I have ever had with Physical Therapy. Their attention to detail, and the incredible approach to healing and development that Petroski Physio has given my son is ASTOUNDING. I drive an hour, one way, for the expert care my son receives. They make every second of that drive worth it with the care they provide. For anyone with a young athlete trying to stay healthy, get to the next level, or compete at a higher level- PLEASE give them a call.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. The staff is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely kind and attentive. They take the time to understand your goals, explain the treatment plan thoroughly, and adjust as needed to make sure you’re progressing safely and effectively. I mainly worked with both Jared and Pat. They are truly outstanding therapists. They took the time to listen to my concerns, clearly explained my treatment plan, and tailored every session to help me meet my recovery goals. Their knowledge, encouragement, and hands-on approach made a huge difference in my progress. I always felt motivated and supported, even on the tough days. The facility is clean, modern, and well-equipped, which adds to the overall sense of comfort and trust. What truly sets this place apart is the personalized attention — I never felt like “just another patient.” Every session was focused, encouraging, and tailored to my needs. Thanks to their expert care, I’ve made incredible progress in my recovery and feel stronger, more mobile, and more confident than I have in months. If you’re looking for a place that truly prioritizes your health and healing, look no further. Highly recommend! It’s not just another PT spot. It’s Petroski Physio #RehabDifferent

During my high school baseball season with Holy Ghost I tore my labrum in my left shoulder. I had surgery at the end of the summer and my goal was to be healthy for the 2025 spring season. Nick and the team at Petroski Physio helped me rehab my shoulder super fast and exceeded those expectations. I now feel even stronger than I did before my labrum tear. The whole staff is extremely reliable, flexible, and intelligent.
