Athletic Testing Overview
Limb Symmetry
Comparing one leg to the other leg in strength, balance, and motion. We use this to decrease chances of injury with those athletes who frequently change direction on the run.
Pitcher Assessment
Receive a comprehensive assessment pre, in, and/or post season to help decrease your overall chances of shoulder or elbow injury
Sport Training
The last step in determining if an athlete is ready for sport is actually performing sporting movement in a controlled environment. Our facility allows us to do this better than any other location!
Limb Symmetry
We quantify your strength, power, and balance through a battery of tests. We then use those results to determine how even you are from side to side to decrease likelihood of injury.
FORCE PRODUCTION (strength)- Quadriceps to Quadriceps strength- Hamstrings strength to Quadriceps strength
HOP TESTING (power and landing ability)- Single leg hop- Single leg triple hop- Single leg vertical- Cross over hop
Y-BALANCE TEST (balance)- Multidirectional reach in single leg stance

Pitcher Assessment
Our shoulder joints have an amazing ability to move in all directions. However too much or even too little may put the overhead and throwing athlete in a bad position to potentially injury their shoulder or even elbow when under high demand.
SHOULDER FLEXION (overhead movement)- A shoulder flexion deficit of >5 degrees from non dominant arm can increase risk of shoulder/elbow injury 2.4 times
SHOULDER EXTERNAL ROTATION (backward rotation)- A shoulder External rotation deficit of >5 degrees from non dominant arm can increase risk of shoulder/elbow injury 2.8 times
SHOULDER ARC OF MOTION- A difference of >5 degrees in total arc of range indicates potential for 2.5 times injury rate ROTATOR CUFF STRENGTH - We measure the force output of your rotator cuff external rotators and compare it forces that your body weight can produce in combination with your internal rotators

Sport Specific Movement
It is extremely important to have athletes perform sport specific movements specific to their sport. Our fully equipped, 3,750 square foot, athletic facility with indoor and outdoor turf allows us to provide closest reenactment to most sport specific situations in a controlled environment.
TURF- 25x15 yard indoor turf lined every five yards for speed and agility drills- 60x30 yard outdoor turf for activities requiring more room. (i.e. sprints, route running, fielding, hitting, long toss, dribbling...etc.)
EQUIPMENT- Fully equiped weight room - Basketballs, footballs, baseballs, tennis balls, volleyballs, soccer balls... you name it- Bats, golf clubs, rackets, hockey sticks...- Outdoor Basketball hoopAnd much more!
