RETURN TO THROWING PERFORMANCE HANDBOOK

The Return to Throwing Handbook is a complete framework designed to guide athletes, coaches, and clinicians through every stage of the shoulder rehabilitation and return-to-play journey. Built on years of applied work in baseball, cricket, and overhead sports, it simplifies the entire return-to-play process into four structured levels outlining what to test, how to progress, and the standards athletes should meet at every stage.

  • I’ve worked with Ben for over a year now and he’s a problem solver which as a physio/rehab trainer is perfect. He’s helped me overcome my shoulder problems on both sides as we have worked intensively together on this. Everyday I went to see him he always came with great energy and enthusiasm which always reflected onto me when some days I didn’t feel like doing my rehab. I would definitely recommend Ben to anyone who has any shoulder problems.
