JOI Rehab has specific programs to help athletes who have shoulder and elbow injuries related to throwing. JOI has a Sport Center to film athletes to make sure their biomechanics or throwing motions are correct. At the Sport Center they also have throwing programs where a skilled clinician observes their mechanics throughout an entire return to sport program. The Sport Center has an outside turf area with a pitching mound and batting cage nets.
