REMOTE THROWING REHAB

Baseball-specific physical therapy and return-to-throw management for athletes training away from our facility. We manage strength, symptoms, workload, throwing intensity, mound progressions, and the response to each step.

REMOTE CARE, CLEAR SCOPE

WHAT WE MANAGE REMOTELY

  • Clinical throwing review via video
  • Individualized strength and rehab programming
  • Workload management and monitoring
  • Return-to-throw through bullpen readiness
  • Movement screening via video
  • Accountability and coaching
  • Education and decision-making support
  • Test-retest cycles for objective progression

WHEN YOU NEED IN-PERSON CARE

  • Hands-on manual therapy and soft tissue work
  • Joint mobilizations and manipulations
  • Palpation-based assessment
  • Special testing for diagnosis (Valgus stress, etc.)
  • Acute injury triage (first 1-2 weeks)
  • Immediate post-surgical wound care
  • Performance motion capture and lab testing

If the evaluation shows that you need hands-on testing or treatment, we will recommend in-person care before remote programming begins.

Two Stages, One Clinical Lane

REMOTE REHAB OR RETURN TO THROW

The same six-week plan can begin during injury rehab or later, when the arm is ready to throw. Your evaluation determines where the work starts.

Stage 1

REMOTE REHAB

For pain, injury, or post-surgical recovery. A licensed physical therapist manages symptoms, range of motion, strength, tissue loading, and the work required before throwing resumes.

Stage 2

REMOTE RETURN TO THROW

For athletes ready to rebuild throwing. We prescribe volume and intensity, monitor recovery, progress velocity-zone throwing and mound work, and prepare the arm for full-effort bullpens.

Next Phase

BASEBALL DEVELOPMENT

Live at-bats, pitch design, hitting instruction, command training, and velocity-development blocks move to the athlete's baseball coaches. We provide a current workload and readiness summary for the handoff.

The Standard Stays the Same

BUILT FOR THE GAME

Remote care still has a performance endpoint. Your program connects rehab, strength, throwing workload, video review, mound intensity, and recovery so the arm is prepared for full-effort work and the next competitive phase.

HOW IT WORKS

01

EVALUATION & INTAKE

Start with a 75-minute in-person evaluation or a 45-minute telehealth evaluation. Current patients can continue without another evaluation.

02

CLINICAL VIDEO REVIEW

You submit videos of throwing, movement, and prescribed exercises. We use them to review exercise form, symptom-linked movement patterns, and how the arm responds as throwing intensity rises.

03

INDIVIDUALIZED PROGRAMMING

Your rehab program is delivered through our app with video demonstrations, sets, reps, tempo, and load prescriptions. Updated weekly based on your feedback, video submissions, and symptom tracking. Nothing generic.

04

REMOTE OVERSIGHT

Video form review and messaging support keep the program current. Add a 30-minute or 45-minute telehealth check-in when you need a deeper review.

05

TEST-RETEST CYCLES

Every 4-6 weeks, we re-test key metrics: range of motion, strength benchmarks, throwing velocity, and symptom status. Objective data helps guide each progression decision. Same standard as our in-person athletes.

06

RETURN-TO-THROW MANAGEMENT

When you are ready, we manage throwing volume, intensity, pitch type, recovery, mound work, and the progression toward full-effort bullpen readiness. You throw, film, report. We adjust.

THE TECH STACK

Remote rehab is only as good as the tools and systems behind it. Here is what powers the program.

COACHRX

Programming delivery, exercise video library, load tracking, messaging, and progress monitoring. Your entire program in one app.

VIDEO ANALYSIS

Frame-by-frame breakdown of throwing mechanics, movement screens, and exercise form. Slow-motion analysis with annotated feedback.

VIDEO CALLS

Scheduled check-ins via Zoom or Google Meet for program review, movement assessment, and progress discussion. Screen-shared data review.

DIRECT MESSAGING

Asynchronous communication between check-ins. Questions, video submissions, symptom reports, all in one thread, with responses during normal business operations.

IDEAL FOR

  • Athletes located in Washington or Florida during telehealth care
  • College athletes who want continuity while training in WA or FL
  • Travel athletes who can complete their visits while in WA or FL
  • Baseball players who can train independently with remote oversight
  • Athletes currently in rehab who want a second opinion on programming

SEEK IN-PERSON CARE IF

  • Acute injuries less than 2 weeks old that have not been evaluated
  • Suspected fractures or dislocations (go to urgent care first)
  • Post-surgical patients in the first 4-6 weeks after surgery
  • Athletes who need manual therapy as a primary treatment
  • Injuries requiring hands-on special testing for diagnosis

If you are unsure which category you fall into, apply anyway. We will be honest about whether remote is right for your situation.

Licensure Disclosure: Clinical telehealth may be available while you are physically located in Washington with Dylan or Florida with Jason. Contact us before enrolling so we can confirm eligibility and the right starting format. Nonclinical return-to-throw, strength, and performance programming is reviewed separately.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Program Details

Video helps us review throwing, exercise form, and movement patterns tied to symptoms or load tolerance. An in-person assessment adds palpation, manual strength testing, and orthopedic special tests. If your injury needs those for diagnosis, we will recommend an in-person evaluation before remote programming begins.
Programming is delivered through CoachRX, which gives you video demonstrations, load tracking, messaging, and progress monitoring in one place. Video submissions can come through the app or via a shared drive. Check-in calls are done via Zoom or Google Meet.
The six-week plan includes video form review and messaging support. You can add a 30-minute or 45-minute telehealth check-in whenever the program needs a deeper review.
At minimum: access to a gym with free weights, a phone or camera for video submissions, and a throwing space (flat ground or mound depending on your phase). Ideally, access to PlyoCare balls and a radar gun or Rapsodo helps, but we can work with what you have.

Eligibility & Fit

Not necessarily, but it helps. If you have imaging (MRI, X-ray) and a diagnosis from a physician, we can get started immediately on programming. If you do not have a diagnosis, we may recommend getting an in-person evaluation for clarity before starting remote rehab.
Yes, with caveats. We typically recommend the first 4-6 weeks post-surgery be managed by a local PT for hands-on care and wound management. After that initial window, remote management of the progressive loading and return-to-throw phases may be appropriate. We coordinate with your surgeon and local PT as needed.
We will tell you. If at any point during the remote program we determine you need hands-on evaluation or treatment, we will say so. If you can get to our Kent or Tampa location, great. If not, we can help you look for a qualified provider near you and, with your authorization, coordinate relevant information with them.
The plan can cover full rehab or the later return-to-throw stage. Your evaluation determines the starting point. Programming may include strength training, mobility, arm care, throwing progression, workload management, and bullpen preparation.
Pitch design, hitting instruction, command training, velocity-development blocks, and performance motion capture belong with baseball-development coaches. We prepare the arm and throwing workload for that phase, then share current benchmarks with the athlete's team, private coach, or Driveline staff.

Cost & Commitment

The six-week remote program is $450. New patients also need an evaluation: $262.50 in person or $157.50 by telehealth. Current patients can continue for $450 with no new evaluation.
Each remote plan runs for six weeks. At the end, you can stop, start another block, move to in-person care, or continue with individual visits based on your progress.
The plan ends after six weeks, so there is no recurring plan to cancel. Unused services are non-refundable and convert to account credit under the plan policy.

DISTANCE SHOULD NOT DICTATE QUALITY OF CARE

If you train away from Kent or Tampa and want baseball-specific rehab guidance for your throwing arm, apply for our remote program. We will review your situation and tell you if remote care fits your current stage.
