Complete Game Physical Therapy Patient of the Month: Anthony
Complete Game Physical Therapy is excited to introduce our Patient of the Month, Anthony. Anthony is a right-handed pitcher for Georgetown University Hoyas baseball and came to us after developing pain. “Around three weeks into summer ball I started to develop elbow and forearm tightness which eventually led to pain,” Anthony explained, “After being diagnosed with tendonitis on both sides of the right elbow, I was shut down for the summer and was instructed to go to rehab.”
The 2018 Boston Globe All-Scholastic team member began to research his options for recovery and chose Complete Game to start his rehab. “Through research and word of mouth, I reached out to Complete Game PT for my rehab assignment, “Anthony said. “I couldn’t have made a better decision. The dedication of the Complete Game team was the main reason I have progressed and strengthened my entire throwing arm, not just my elbow. The team helped me twice a week to do rehab and come up with a throwing program that has helped me return to baseball.”
Needless to say, his return to baseball is extremely important to this young athlete as he works toward his goals. Anthony was a four year starter throughout his high school career starting at Easthampton High School and then finishing at Phillips Andover Academy, where he helped lead Andover to the CNEPSL championships in both 2016 and 2018. The Complete Game team tailored a personalized program for Anthony, tailored to meet his goals of returning to the pitching mound and helping to deliver a big-win for the Georgetown team.
“After eight weeks of PT, I began throwing at forty-five feet and built up to ninety feet. I am now in a four week progression to return to the mound. Then afterwards it’s all about preparing for the 2022 Spring Division One season and helping Georgetown win a Big East championship,” Anthony shared. “My coach and I have a goal for me to be back on the mound by October 16th.”
The Complete Game Physical Therapy team is very proud of all of the hard work and progress made in our clinic ."With Anthony, as with all our patients, we spent time initially to hear the full history of his injury, figure out a clear picture of what is going on and develop a plan to get him back to his individual goals. In his case he needed to get back to the mound this fall so we tailored his treatment timeline to achieve that. Anthony worked very hard throughout his rehab and was very fun to work with. We are looking forward to him leading the Hoyas on the field this spring!"
