"There's a slow-motion epidemic of arm injuries happening in youth baseball, but it's one that can be both prevented--and treated. The statistics for baseball injuries are grim: 30% of kids ages 9 to 19 who play baseball experience shoulder pain, 50% of all youth pitchers reported elbow or shoulder pain, 100% increase in pitching-related injuries from Little League to high school, 700% increase in high schoolers undergoing UCL reconstruction surgery since 2000. Through years of working hand-in-hand, Dr. Christopher Ahmad and John Gallucci Jr., DPT have seen this recent influx in baseball injuries that require surgery followed by extensive post-operative physical therapy."--Page 4 of cover.
