Overhead athletes engage in some of the most physically demanding activities of all sports and if specific steps are not taken to ensure that these athletes are set up for success the result can be poor performance, injury and surgery. At C.O.A.S.T. the emphasis is on identifying, through a physical exam and video analysis, areas for improvement in each individual athlete and addressing them with appropriate exercises under the supervision of program director Dr. Jason Preuschoff, PT, DPT, OCS.
