World Class Athletes

Baseball

Rich Rodriguez
MLB Pitcher, Texas Rangers
“After undergoing surgery to repair an artery in my throwing arm, I went to Athletic PT to rehab my arm and maintain my arm and endurance. Their equipment and knowledge are amazing. Over the past 6 weeks, I haven't missed a step. I am now prepared to begin my pitching program back in Texas. I feel like I could have pitched yesterday...thanks for everything!”
Todd Zeille
Infielder - Major League Baseball, New York Mets
“Last season, I had an elbow injury which limited my swing and hampered my throwing. During the off-season, I underwent surgery to remove bone chips and aggressive therapy. The combination of hands-on-treatment, progressive throwing protocol, and upper body plyometric exercises have enabled me to swing and throw without limitations or pain. Thanks to Athletic Physical Therapy, I'm looking forward to more years in the Majors.”
Tyler Johnson
Pitcher, St. Louis Cardinals; 2006 MLB World Series Champions
“Athletic PT's training program is top notch. The manual stretching and preseason throwing & strengthening program we did were awesome! I'm feeling even more confident entering into spring training this time. I need to get back & see you guys even earlier next preseason. Thanks for all your help!”
Mike Scioscia
Manager - Major League Baseball, Anaheim Angels and Former MLB LA Dodger
“Following arthroscopic surgery, the team doctor referred me to Athletic PT for rehab. I believe that the clinical expertise of the staff really helped me recover faster and completely. My knee now feels 100% better. I am able to run, squat and even better, I was able to return to my off-season golf game in just 3 weeks!”
Brandon Kinght

Volleyball

Dain Blanton
2000 Beach Volleyball Gold Medalist, AVP, Professional Beach Volleyball Champion
Marla O'Hara
AVP & FIVB, Professional Beach Volleyball Champion
“The pain in my lower back was so bad that I had to stop competing and training for Pro Beach Volleyball events. I was diagnosed with three herniated discs in my low back. I wanted to avoid surgery at all costs and get back to playing my favorite sport for the upcoming season so my doctor sent me to the best: Athletic PT. Their hands-on treatment techniques coupled with aggressive spinal stabilization exercises not only reduced my back pain, but also helped me regain lost flexibility, strength and power. Thanks to Athletic PT, I have regained my confidence and I'm ready to return to the sand and compete in the upcoming Pro Beach Volleyball tour!”
Stuart Jemesen
Four time Australian Beach Volleyball Champion 1988-1992, Australian King of the Beach 1992, AVP Top 50 in World 1993
“After undergoing back surgery I was unable to resume my intense training program and I was forced to end my beach volleyball career. Unfortunately, despite doing my rehabilitation at another facility, I re-injured my back and ended up having a second spinal surgery this past year. I was unable to reach my full training potential for 6 years. Finally, Athletic Physical Therapy has helped me regain my mojo, and I'm now able to resume my other career as a trainer and bodyguard to Hollywood's A list!!”

Tennis

Zach Fleishman
ATP Professional, Australian Open
“Last year I suffered a devastating injury resulting from a mountain biking accident. After a major shoulder surgery, I had three screws inserted and was unsure if I would be 100% ever again. I found my way to Athletic PT upon hearing about their specialty in treating world class athletes. Through their patience, structured regimen, and unparalled expertise, I found myself back on center court pain free in my very first tournament back. I am now close to starting the new year at the Australian Open, where I will be competing against the world's best. Only 6 months out of therapy I am healthier and stronger than before my injury thanks to Athletic PT.”

I can't say enough about their organization: top notch! Their hands-on treatment and exercise programs have helped me recover faster than I thought possible. Instead of being tackled by 300 lbs lineman, I can look forward to playing with my kids and working on my golf game... pain free!”
Brian Bosworth

“I've had 23 surgeries since playing football and I've done my fair share of rehabilitation. Athletic Physical Therapy is a step ahead of the game and I can't thank them enough for helping me with my knee and my back. If you're looking for a specialized PT clinic that understands sports medicine, then I highly recommend you talk to these guys!!!”
Rob Turner
AFL Receiver- Los Angeles Avengers
“A nagging knee injury slowed me down at the end of the 2006 arena football season. The pain continued well into the off- season and has limited my ability to run, jump and make cuts. The team at Athletic PT helped reduce the pain and progressed me back to my off-season strength and conditioning program. Without pain or restrictions, I've been able to take my speed and strength training to a whole new level. I'm now looking forward to a BIG 2007 season.”
Tab Perry
Wide Receiver - Miami Dolphins
Skip Hicks
