The tenth episode of the Hand to Shoulder Podcast is all about baseball. More specifically, we talk about assessing and treating pitchers. And who's a better expert on this topic than Dr. Garrett Bullock? Not only is he a Doctor of Physical Therapy, he is also a former collegiate and professional baseball player. Dr. Bullock provides insight on ways to assess the lower extremity as a critical part of our evaluation of elbow or shoulder pain and several clinical pearls for maximizing treatment outcomes for these athletes. He encourages us to explore outside of our traditional assessment tool box, throw a curveball in our treatment plans, and strike out pain and dysfunction for good using a whole-body approach.
