What Makes Us Unique?
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model, for athletes or our regular patients. That’s what has led us to develop our One2FourTM approach. When you start your rehabilitation program, you will be placed in a category based on your needs. Category 1 focuses on patients that require maximum assistance at home and in daily life. Category 2 includes patients who need maximum assistance but may be independent at home. Category 3 is for those with independence who are looking for high performance, and Category 4 is for those seeking high to ultimate performance. Many of our athletes seeking sports rehabilitation fall in Categories 3 and 4, and we use these categories to ensure you are receiving the most effective treatment and are being connected to the right resources to minimize downtime before returning to your sport.

What Can Cause a Bowling Injury?
Bowling is a popular activity for all ges, whether competitively or recreationally. As with any activity, performing repeated motions and stresses to a particular area of the body can wear on the body and make certain areas prone to injury. For bowling, repetitive stresses are placed on the wrist, elbow, and shoulder joint.
The most common causes of bowling injuries are bowling too many times in a short period of time, not allowing for rest between turns, bowling with a ball too heavy, not having the necessary strength or flexibility of the wrist, and falls associated with technique, balance, and distractions.
When left untreated, bowling injuries to the upper extremities can cause pain and lack of mobility, not to mention worsen over time. It is important to obtain a consultation from a professional trained in sports medicine and rehabilitation to understand and diagnose the nature of the injury or discomfort and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Speaking with a trained professional, such as our experts at Twin Boro, can also help find the root of the problem to prevent future injuries and correct any technique abnormalities.
