CORBIN HEDT PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS
Hi there! My name is Corbin and I am the creator behind Ready to Throw. I have nearly 15 years of clinical experience working with athletes of all levels as a Physical Therapist in Houston, TX. I have dedicated my professional career to learning – absorbing everything that I can from my mentors AND patients to refine my practice to be as meaningful and impactful as possible. Coupled with an extensive background in research and data collection, I have been fortunate enough to find that synergistic balance of an evidence-based approach with a patient-first mindset. My passion for throwing and working with the throwing athlete has only grown with time and I’m reminded every day how lucky I am to be able to do what I do. Giving back has become another passion of mine – clinical teaching, mentoring, and creating resources brings me a significant sense of accomplishment. In addition to treating as a Senior Therapist, serving as Sports Physical Therapy Residency faculty, and Lead Physical Therapy Research Coordinator, I am also the Director of the Houston Methodist Upper Extremity Athlete Physical Therapy Fellowship.
I ultimately hope that this platform can provide even the slightest bit of good for anyone out there searching for answers. Learn about some of my friends below to see the true brilliance of the minds behind readytothrow.com
About Ready to Throw
What is ‘Ready to Throw’?
Ready to Throw was designed as a comprehensive platform to be your trusted resource for throwing-specific rehabilitation guidelines, performance optimization programs, and expert consultation services. Founded by a team of physical therapists specializing in sports rehabilitation, our mission is to empower athletes to excel in their throwing endeavors and overcome challenges faced by injury.
Throwing injuries are far too common these days are seem to only be growing. We understand the unique demands placed on throwing athletes, from the intense kinetic stress of repetitive motions to the complex biomechanics involved in achieving peak performance. Whether you’re a professional athlete, collegiate competitor, or passionate enthusiast, our comprehensive approach to rehabilitation and performance enhancement is tailored to your individual needs.
The amount of information (and mis-information) out there about throwing performance and injuries is overwhelming!
Our Approach
The overhead athlete is truly unique and complex. Evaluating and assessing the needs of the overhead athlete is also complex. However, obtaining the information needed to bridge the gap shouldn’t be complex. Therefore, we wanted to put together as many quality pieces of information as possible in a repository that serves as a “one-stop-shop”. We’ve identified, researched, critically-appraised, and constructed as many FREE resources as we possibly could:
- Throwing-Specific Rehabilitation Guidelines: From post-operative rehab protocols to throwing programs and return-to-sport testing batteries, no question should be left unanswered when it comes to rehabilitation for the thrower.
- Performance Optimization and Injury Prevention: For those looking to maximize their potential while also establishing a solid foundation for a long and healthy career, we have plenty of resources and guides to do so effectively and safely. Fine-tune your throwing mechanics, enhance power and accuracy, and minimize the risk of overuse injuries through targeted interventions.
- Handouts and Tools: For rehab professionals, coaches, parents, etc. – we have included as many downloadable materials as possible including exercise packets (HEP’s), diagrams, videos, training documents, and more.
In need of more individualized help?
- Telehealth Consultations: Access expert guidance and support remotely through our telehealth services, making quality care accessible from anywhere.
- Clinician Mentoring: If you’re looking to expand your knowledge base and practice to better serve the throwing athlete, we’re here for you and can help guide your way with decades of experience amongst our team.
- Personalized Consultations: We love discussing problems and solutions with anyone and everyone! If you’re a coach looking to maximize output, parents trying to prevent injuries, physical therapists/athletic trainers looking to improve their skillset, we’re here to help.
