The Demands of Baseball

Baseball challenges every muscle group. Pitching and batting torque the shoulders, forearms, hips, and core. Catchers grind through squats and knee stress. Outfielders sprint and dive, loading hamstrings and hips. Repetitive volume creates tendonitis, strains, and mechanical breakdown.

⚠️ Season-ending shoulder or elbow injuries

⚠️ Lost velocity, power, or mobility

⚠️ Missed scholarship or roster opportunities

⚠️ Chronic pain cutting careers short

Healthy athletes = strong rosters. Sports massage reduces downtime, restores mobility, and supports rapid recovery between games. We provide direct communication to coaches/trainers.

Youth Athletes vs. Adult Athletes

  • Youth: softer bones, high growth-load risk → gentle, age-appropriate recovery.

  • Adults: more scar tissue, cumulative wear → advanced resets and mobility work.
