Anthony and Nicholas train with Keith Scott at BREAKTHRU Physical Therapy and Sports Training. Anthony began in May 2007. He plays high school baseball as a pitcher and infielder. We were looking for a program to properly condition him in preparation for an aggressive baseball schedule of high school ball, and to compete in tournament and showcase baseball with his travel teams. Nicholas grew 6-7 inches in a less than a year, and experienced some growing pains. He plays tournament and travel baseball.
For Anthony, Keith performed a complete exam/evaluation of his physical condition, flexibility and strength. He discussed his overall conditioning goals as well as his baseball goals. He then designed a program to address the areas that needed improvement and to enhance the areas that were already strong. The program focused on the physical needs of the baseball athlete, especially the extreme demands of a pitcher.

For Nicholas, Keith also performed a complete exam/evaluation and discussed his overall conditioning and baseball goals. He designed a program to first address overcoming the growing pains in the hip flexor area and also to address the instabilities from rapid growth spurts. He blended in overall conditioning and strength training, as well as focused the program on the physical demands of playing baseball, especially pitching.

He has a great rapport with the athletes. The workouts are very aggressive and vigorous. Anthony and Nicholas really enjoy his workouts. Keith emphasizes the importance of flexibility and is always conscious of safety and injury prevention. As part of the stretching routine, Keith also performs deep muscle releases to relieve intra-muscular knots that are not always noticeable. Keith’s expert technique safely eliminates these knots before they can hinder performance, or lead to injury.

Both boys have achieved great improvement in physical strength and overall conditioning. They have also realized noticeable gains in key areas of their sports performance. They continue to train with Keith in 2008. Based on our good experience, we have referred other athletes to BREAKTHRU for training. BREAKTHRU’s facility is well equipped and the entire staff is friendly and helpful.
