Thrower’s Athletic Performance (TAP)

Improve Performance & Decrease The Risk Of Injury

Throwers Athletic Performance (TAP) uses biomechanical principals and high definition video to analyze, identify, and eliminate flaws to improve performance and decrease the risk of throwing injuries. The Center’s highly trained staff, with over 30 years of experience, developed TAP based on the evaluation and throwing protocols of Dr. James Andrews and his rehab team.

Our team works with coaches at all levels helping them understand the physiological role of throwing. Our program is the perfect complement, providing more individualized attention to the biomechanics of throwing.

*TAP may also be used as part of a physical therapy program if you have sustained an injury or pain during throwing.
