Welcome to Bailey Sports Performance and Physical Therapy
Bailey Sports Performance and Physical Therapy is a cash-based, sports performance and physical therapy practice. I provide movement and balance assessments and orthopedic, physical therapy services to athletes who want to enhance their athletic performance or are experiencing functional or performance loss due to pain or injury.
No prescription, No problem. Ohio is a Physical Therapy Direct Access state.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapists are proven to be leaders in neuromusculoskeletal rehabilitation. After performing a comprehensive evaluation and identifying the root cause of your pain, a treatment plan will be established.
My approach to treatment identifies the root cause of your pain or dysfunction quickly. This enables me to establish a focused treatment plan which will facilitate a more timely recovery and return to your sport or prior activity level.
Treatment plans often include one or more of the following: prescriptive exercise, spinal manipulation, joint mobilization, spinal and/or joint stabilization exercises, blood flow restriction training, dry needling and cupping.

Comprehensive Movement & Risk Assessment
This evidence-based assessment identifies a pitcher's imbalances and deficits in the following:
- Arm/shoulder, hip, thorax, ankle and cervical mobility
- Core strength and stability
- Balance and motor control with select movement patterns
- Rotator cuff and scapular muscular strength
Through baseball pitching injury risk research, these characteristics have been identified as being the most common in pitchers who are injured during a season.
Upon completion of the assessment, an individualized report will be generated and emailed to each pitcher. If deficits are identified, a series of corrective exercises will be prescribed. Each program of corrective exercises is developed with the goal of enhancing pitching performance and lowering the pitcher's risk of musculoskeletal injury.

Physical therapy Treatment
Manual Therapy
Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic Exercise
This includes hands-on mobilization and/or manipulation of connective tissues or joints. Manual Therapy is defined as "application of an accurately determined and specifically directed manual force to the body, in order to improve mobility in areas that are restricted; in joints, in connective tissues or in skeletal muscles." Skilled manual therapy techniques can make immediate improvements in pain and mobility creating an opportunity for greater movement, strength gains and healing response.

Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercise is an integral piece of treatment. While manual therapy techniques provide a window of opportunity with improved pain and range of motion, it is therapeutic exercise that utilizes that opportunity to regain strength, speed healing and resolve harmful movement compensations that have developed. Ultimately, movement is the best medicine for most orthopedic ailments.
Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation
Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation
Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation
High load resistance training has been shown to be the most successful means in improving muscular strength and increasing muscle size. The problem that exists is that in certain populations that require muscle strengthening, high load and high intensity exercises may not be clinically appropriate (ie. post-surgical). Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a technique that combines low intensity exercise with blood flow occlusion that produces similar results to high intensity training.
BFR training was initially developed in the 1960’s in Japan and known as KAATSU training. It involves the application of a pneumatic cuff (tourniquet) proximally to the muscle that is being trained. It can be applied to either the upper or lower limb. The cuff is then inflated to a specific pressure with the aim of obtaining partial arterial and complete venous occlusion. The patient is then asked to perform resistance exercises at a low intensity of 20-30% of 1 repetition max (1RM), with high repetitions per set (15-30) and short rest intervals between sets (30 seconds).
Dry Needling
Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation
Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation
Dry Needling (DN) (aka intramuscular needling, functional dry needling, trigger point dry needling) is a skilled intervention that uses a thin needle without medication (dry) to penetrate the skin. By penetrating the skin, the needle can affect how the brain handles/interprets pain signals and can release chemicals in the area that promote relaxation and healing.
DN is a technique used to treat dysfunctions in skeletal muscle, fascia, connective tissue, as well as painful scars and scar tissue. DN also enhances the body's natural processes during recovery after bouts of exercise or sports participation by diminishing pain/soreness and restoring body structure and function.
Common Injuries/Conditions treated by Dry Needling include:
- back pain
- sciatica
- knee pain
- shoulder pain / shoulder impingement
- neck pain
- ankle pain
- tennis elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- trigger points (spasms)
- headaches
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- shin splints
- heel pain / plantar fasciitis
- Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITB)
- Achilles tendonitis
- sports injuries
- sprains / strains
- contusions
- hamstrings injuries
- patellar femoral syndrome
- piriformis syndrome
Comprehensive Movement & risk and arm health assessments
Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
This screening identifies compensatory movement patterns that are indicative of increased risk of injury and inefficient movement which causes reduced pitching performance. The FMS aims to identify imbalances in mobility and stability during seven fundamental movement patterns. These movement patterns are designed to provide observable performance of basic locomotor, manipulative and stabilizing movements by placing the pitcher in extreme positions where weaknesses and imbalances become noticeable if appropriate mobility and motor control is not utilized. Corrective exercises will be prescribed.
Mobility and Strength Assessment
Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
This assessment evaluates the pitcher's arm/shoulder, hip, thorax, ankle and cervical mobility and his rotator cuff and scapular muscular strength.
Through baseball pitching injury risk research, these characteristics have been identified as being the most important to measure and monitor. Pitchers who have deficits in these specific areas are more likely to experience an injury. Corrective exercises will be prescribed.
Y Balance Test (YBT)
Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
Y Balance Test (YBT)
This test evaluated a pitcher's dynamic stability and balance. The YBT requires the athlete to balance on one leg while reaching as far as possible with the other leg in three separate directions: anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial.
The ability to maintain a stable position while standing on one leg, is vital for proper pitching mechanics and reducing the likelihood of injury. Corrective exercises will be prescribed.
Payment
Recent changes in most health insurance plans, such as physical therapy co-pays and high deductibles, have made it more expensive to use insurance for physical therapy for the following reasons: 1) Insurance companies dictate or strongly influence the type of treatment patients receive from "in-network" providers. 2) Due to progressively worsening reimbursement rates and pressure from insurance companies, the PTs at "in-network" clinics often treat more than one patient at a time or delegate portions of the treatment to supportive staff. 3) Many "in-network" clinics use physical therapy assistants or technicians to provide much of the patient care and require the patient to attend 3 times/week for 4-6 weeks. 4) Many "in-network" clinics require a physician's referral or prescription for physical therapy prior to treatment.
At Bailey Sports Performance and Physical Therapy, physical therapy treatment can begin without a physician's referral / prescription. Each patient receives one-on-one, hands-on treatment from a Doctor of Physical Therapy at every session. Treatment often consists of therapeutic exercise, joint mobilization/manipulation, blood flow restriction, dry needling and/or cupping. The plan of care consists of 1-3 sessions/week and most get better within 3-4 weeks.
Bailey Sports Performance and Physical Therapy is not "in network" with insurances and does not have a relationship with Medicare or Medicaid. Payment will be collected on each date of service prior to treatment.
Upon request, receipts can be provided that include the necessary codes and information to send "self claims" to your insurance company for possible partial reimbursement or so it can be applied toward your deductible. You will need to contact your health insurance company directly to determine if this is an option for you.
