From Shoulder Pain to Confidence: Brayden’s Story

From Shoulder Pain to Confidence: Brayden’s Story

May 17, 20251 min read

Who is Brayden?
A middle school athlete from Florida looking to work with a sports physical therapist online. 

Where was Brayden before working with you?
Brayden had suffered two shoulder injuries that were making pitching difficult and painful. Despite trying several treatment options, nothing offered lasting results.

How did Brayden’s family find you, and what made them decide to commit?
Brayden’s dad discovered me on Instagram, even though they lived across the country in Florida. Initially, the family was hesitant—but they committed to one month of Zoom-based care to see if it could help.

What was your initial plan of action?
We focused on reducing pain, restoring shoulder mobility, and rebuilding throwing strength. Each session targeted a specific weakness in his mechanics, combining rehab principles with real pitching development.

What stood out about Brayden’s progress?
It wasn’t just recovery. Once pain was managed, we transitioned into performance—refining mechanics and building a weekly home program that could evolve over time. The family appreciated how personalized and adaptive each phase of the program was.

Before & After Results:

  • Before: persistent shoulder pain, mechanical breakdowns, low confidence

  • After: pain-free pitching, improved strength, weekly progress, growing confidence

What would you say to families considering remote rehab for baseball injuries?
Virtual doesn’t mean generic. Brayden’s recovery shows that with expert guidance and a tailored plan, even remote care can deliver real, lasting results. He’s now throwing pain-free—and still getting better every week.
