Physical Therapy for
Overhead Athletes

Helping overhead athletes recover from pain, move better, and perform at their best with one-on-one, personalized physical therapy—so you can stay strong, confident, and ready for every game, practice, and play.

Who is this for?

Baseball Player Pitching

At Next Flight Rehab, we work with overhead athletes and active adults who want to stay in the game without pain, hesitation, or lingering injuries slowing them down.

Whether you’re dealing with shoulder pain that’s affecting your throw, back tightness that shows up every time you train, or recurring aches that never fully resolve, we’re here to help you move, perform, and compete at your best.

You might be looking for support if you’re experiencing:

  • Persistent shoulder or back pain during throwing, lifting, or overhead movements

  • Tightness or stiffness that’s limiting your power, accuracy, or speed

  • Frustration that you can’t perform at the level you know you’re capable of

  • Fear of re-injury after a past setback or overuse issue

  • The feeling that you’ve “tried everything” but still don’t have a real solution

 

If you’re ready to stop guessing, stop compensating, and actually fix the root cause of your pain, you’re in the right place.

At Next Flight Rehab, Jacob Burcicki, PT, provides one-on-one, sport-specific physical therapy designed to help overhead athletes recover fully, move with confidence, and return to their sport stronger than ever. Together, you’ll target what’s actually holding you back—not just the symptoms—so you can throw harder, move faster, and compete without fear of reinjury.
