Ready to Play Ball

St. Charles Hospital (Port Jefferson, NY) offers pre-season injury prevention screenings and pre-season physical performance evaluations to help baseball players avoid common shoulder and elbow injuries. Physical performance evaluations are offered at the hospital's Long Island rehabilitation outpatient locations and conducted in three sessions, beginning eight weeks before pre-season begins.

Our Programs

Specially trained sports physical therapists assess the mobility and range of motion in a player's shoulder, elbow and lower body. They test:

  • Endurance
  • Overall balance and perception
  • Stability of the upper body and core
  • Strength of upper and lower limbs

Players receive a tailored exercise program based upon initial assessments. In the third and final session, a player is evaluated to measure progress with the exercise program.

Screenings include all three sessions for $150.

Call 631-474-6797 for more information or to make an appointment.
