MORE THAN JUST GETTING BACK TO THROWING.
From shoulder and elbow injuries to post-surgical recovery, every program is built around your injury, your position, and your goals.
Our return-to-throwing programs progress strength, throwing volume, and intensity together, not just distance, so your arm is ready for every step back to competition.
What we treat:
Shoulder and elbow injuries
UCL and Tommy John rehabilitation
Muscle strains and lower-body injuries
Post-surgical rehabilitation
Return-to-throwing and return-to-sport progressions
PREPARE FOR THE DEMANDS OF THE GAME.
From offseason development to in-season training, we help baseball players build the strength, speed, power, and throwing capacity to hold up all season long.
Every program is planned around your training demands, competitive schedule, and progress, so you’re ready when it counts.
Our focus:
Strength, speed, and power
Offseason and in-season training
Throwing workload management
Objective testing and progress tracking

Return-to-Sport Readiness
We focus on preparing you to train, compete, and move with confidence.
This place has been amazing with my son! He has been there for 3 injuries and the time, effort and patience the PT staff have put in has been incredible. They work not only to get you “healed and feeling better” but “better and beyond where you were”. My son is a baseball player and they work with him to get him back to where he was prior to the injury and push him so he is even better then he was physically. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for PT, esp if you have an athletic injury!!

The team at Petroski Physio is so knowledgeable and informative with great communication. The facility is such a great environment for athletes to train and do therapy. They worked with my son for about two months and continued to work with him as he got himself back on the field. We had tried other programs and unfortunately my son’s injury would gradually come back. So happy we found Nick and his team at Petroski Physio. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
David
Training at Petroski has been a great experience. They helped me learn how to build strength and prep for the baseball season, while also helping me recover through injuries. The staff is knowledgeable, supportive and approachable. I can’t thank them enough for their expertise and the awesome environment they have built.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. The staff is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely kind and attentive. They take the time to understand your goals, explain the treatment plan thoroughly, and adjust as needed to make sure you’re progressing safely and effectively. I mainly worked with both Jared and Pat. They are truly outstanding therapists. They took the time to listen to my concerns, clearly explained my treatment plan, and tailored every session to help me meet my recovery goals. Their knowledge, encouragement, and hands-on approach made a huge difference in my progress. I always felt motivated and supported, even on the tough days. The facility is clean, modern, and well-equipped, which adds to the overall sense of comfort and trust. What truly sets this place apart is the personalized attention — I never felt like “just another patient.” Every session was focused, encouraging, and tailored to my needs. Thanks to their expert care, I’ve made incredible progress in my recovery and feel stronger, more mobile, and more confident than I have in months. If you’re looking for a place that truly prioritizes your health and healing, look no further. Highly recommend! It’s not just another PT spot. It’s Petroski Physio #RehabDifferent

During my high school baseball season with Holy Ghost I tore my labrum in my left shoulder. I had surgery at the end of the summer and my goal was to be healthy for the 2025 spring season. Nick and the team at Petroski Physio helped me rehab my shoulder super fast and exceeded those expectations. I now feel even stronger than I did before my labrum tear. The whole staff is extremely reliable, flexible, and intelligent.

My son loves working out there. He just started and he is excited to go every week. It has really helped his discipline and confidence with baseball.
Kristin
I started with Petroski following shoulder labrum surgery. With the goal in mind to be back on the college baseball scene, the staff at Petroski took my goal and made it their mission to make me a better player than before my injury. The staff provided a great support system and pushed me to be better everyday. I am truly thankful for those at Petroski Physio and I would recommend it to any athlete.

Everyone at the facility makes you feel welcome, and makes it feel like you are apart of a family. Nick Petroski does a great job making sure that you are taking the needed steps in order to make sure that you are going to get back on the field.

I am a college baseball player who recently got Tommy john surgery. I came into the facility and loved it from the very start. Every single person that works there cares about your rehab and makes the space feel completely different than any other PT place. They push you to become the best so you are prepared to go right back into gameplay. I cant say anything bad about Petroski Physio.
Matt
I am currently 3 months post op from ACL reconstruction surgery and was looking to take my rehab journey to the next level. Each test that was conducted on me was done with immense precision and clear explanations. My PT, Jared, maintained a high level of professionalism, was well-versed in the mechanics that I’ll need to perform as I return to sport, and a deep understanding of the gravity of my situation while knowing what it take to recover properly. Any athlete that is looking to elevate their performance, safely accelerate their recovery, and be surrounded by a motiving and supportive environment will find exactly that at Petroski Physio.
