Overhead Athlete Analysis

The Overhead Athlete Analysis is a comprehensive biomechanical and musculoskeletal evaluation designed to identify factors that contribute to performance limitations and increased injury risk in overhead athletes of any age or competitive level. Whether you play baseball, softball, tennis, volleyball, swim, or participate in any sport requiring repeated overhead motion, this assessment provides valuable clarity on how your body is functioning and how to optimize it.

This evaluation helps athletes improve movement efficiency, develop power, and perform at a higher level with greater confidence.

What's Included:

  • Musculoskeletal mobility and stability screen to identify asymmetries, limitations, and mechanics that influence overhead performance
  • Functional strength assessment to evaluate how you generate, transfer, and absorb force
  • Individualized strength training session focused on addressing priority findings
  • A clear, actionable report summarizing results and customized recommendations

Benefits include:

  • Reduce injury risk by identifying mobility, strength, and movement deficits that increase stress on the shoulder, elbow, and spine
  • Improve performance outcomes through better mechanics, force transfer, control, precision, and power
  • Receive a tailored plan with targeted corrective exercises, stability training, and performance-focused recommendations
