SPEAR President and former pro baseball player Dan Rootenberg, PT treats a minor league pitcher as he recovers from a throwing injury.
With the epidemic of injuries to young throwers and the significant increase in the number of Tommy John surgeries on youth baseball players, it is the mission of SPEAR President Dan Rootenberg to educate the coaches, parents and players of New York City about proper care and mechanics of the throwing arm.
To support this mission SPEAR Physical Therapy is partnering with NYU Langone Medical Center for what could be the most important talk of the baseball season for youth coaches, parents and players: a free event titled “Preventing Baseball Injuries in the Young Throwing Athlete: Everything You Need to Know.”
This is a must-see event for anyone who wants to enhance their throwing performance, prevent injury and prepare for the upcoming 2016 baseball season — and anyone is invited! Come hear four sports medicine experts speak on this exciting topic:
Dan Rootenberg, PT, DPT, CSCS, who played pro baseball on three continents, currently coaches two little league teams in NYC, and is also a board member of two New York City youth baseball organizations.
Justin Farnsworth, PT, DPT, also a SPEAR Physical Therapist and a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist.
