Maize High School’s Caleb Hicks has faced adversity in his playing career. The varsity baseball player has a bright future on the diamond but an injury sidelined him and like many of his peers who go through an injury, Hicks had to work hard to make his comeback. 

Sports are a year-around endeavor these days. Hicks was lifting weights when he suffered his injury that thankfully did not require surgery. But the injury was serious enough to sideline him. 

It was a bulging disk in his lower back and needed attention and the Hicks family knew they wanted Advance Physical Therapy to help get him back on his feet. As a left-handed pitcher on the baseball team, twisting the back is a movement that’s unavoidable. 

APT and Hicks used the Astym treatment to help regenerate healthy soft tissue, which was Hicks favorite part of the therapy. 

Upon completion of his therapy at APT, Hicks regained full movement and his back on his feet and ready to throw. 

“The biggest gain I have noticed since coming to therapy is my ability to twist and move freely without back pain,” said Hicks. 

Thanks to APT, Hicks is ready to take the field this spring with his teammates from Maize High School.
