My son is a lacrosse goalie and injured his shoulder in April 2024. After two MRIs showing damage to the shoulder but no tear, the physical therapy recommended by our healthcare plan was ineffective in strengthening the shoulder and ameliorating
the pain. It was only after I had my son begin working with Dr. Grasso that the situation improved. Pete is a former college baseball player and understands shoulder and other joint injuries in the context of high-level athletes, and he hand-crafted a rehabilitation plan for my son that paid dividends almost immediately. My son returned to the lacrosse field within six weeks of working with Dr. Grasso and was fortunate enough to make his school's varsity team as a freshman the following year. I cannot recommend Pete and Healthy Baller enough!

Our thirteen-year-old son tore his ACL last fall playing soccer. For a kid who trained every day and had never had a major injury, this was emotionally and physically devastating. Following several recommendations from friends we turned to Healthy Baller for
physical therapy. We were a bit nervous at first, but Dr. Pete immediately put us at ease by explaining the timeline and creating a pre-surgery strengthening plan. Post-surgery rehab has also been a success so far. Dr. Pete’s positive energy and ability to connect with young athletes is exactly what our son needed. The fact that our son treats therapy as his “practice” and looks forward to each session speaks volumes about Dr. Pete and Healthy Baller
