As the parent of a son who plays year-round baseball, I understand the physical demands placed on young, growing athletes.

Over time, I have worked with my son and his teammates to address tight muscles or minor injuries. As their bodies develop and training intensifies, maintaining soft tissue health isn’t just helpful - it’s essential.

Proper soft tissue care—including stretching, mobility work, massage, and strength training—not only prevents injury but also improves performance, recovery time, and overall athletic development. When muscles, tendons, and fascia are healthy and functioning well, young athletes move more efficiently, reduce their risk of overuse injuries, and feel more confident on the field.

Incorporating these practices into their routine helps ensure they stay healthy, strong, and able to enjoy the game they love—both now and in the long run.
