“Evolution has worked hard to ensure that what we’re offering is cutting edge and different from your regular PT facility,” says Wolfe. “What makes EPT stand apart is our expertise and focus on exceptional rehab services, fitness, performance training, injury prevention, wellness and recovery. It’s a complete package and focus.”
To that end EPT begins every partnership by isolating where injuries are happening. They then establish a customized treatment plan with correct form in training warm ups and cool downs. Whether it’s head trauma, incorrect form or restricted mobility and aging joints, EPT works to a specific sport. In the case of BVSA, where baseball is their foundation sport, EPT developed an arm care program for their pitchers. It’s based on a state of the art scientific training methodology focusing on arm-care, throwing velocity, and rotational acceleration. This is combined with customized treatment plans offering unique methods of manual therapy and ultramodern recovery systems.
“Young people are pushing themselves and BVSA is a hub,” says Wolfe. “We’re trying to help them achieve their goals and dreams by trying to fix and prevent injuries that often stop young athletes from pursuing their dreams.”
