Volleyball Training and Injury Prevention
Volleyball players put tremendous stress on their bodies — especially their shoulders, knees, and ankles — due to the explosive jumping, spiking, and diving required in the game. At CATZ, our programs are specifically designed to meet the demands of volleyball athletes at all levels.
Whether you're recovering from an injury or looking to elevate your performance, our experienced physical therapy and performance training staff will create a customized plan tailored to your needs. Our goal is to keep you healthy, strong, and playing at your best all season long.
Common Volleyball Injuries We Treat
- Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff strain from repetitive overhead movements
- Patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee) and knee pain
- Chronic ankle instability from frequent jumping and landing
- Low back strain related to rotational power and jumping mechanics
What Our Volleyball Training Programs Focus On
- Improving shoulder strength and stability to reduce overhead injury risk
- Enhancing vertical jump and explosive lower-body power
- Correcting landing mechanics to protect knees and ankles
- Building core control and rotational strength for serving and hitting
- Balancing strength, flexibility, and recovery to support year-round play
More Than Injury Recovery: Unlock Your Potential
Injury Prevention: Physical therapy helps athletes identify and correct imbalances, weaknesses, or movement patterns that could lead to future injuries. Through targeted strength and mobility work, volleyball players can significantly lower the risk of common sports injuries — keeping them in the game longer.
Performance Enhancement: PT isn't just for rehab. Our training improves biomechanics, movement efficiency, and muscular coordination — all of which translate to better on-court performance. Expect faster reaction times, more powerful spikes, and smoother transitions between plays.
Core Strength: A strong core is critical for powerful jumps, stable landings, and effective rotational force during serves and spikes. We focus on building deep abdominal and spinal strength to improve balance, posture, and dynamic power.
Flexibility: Proper flexibility reduces muscle tension, improves range of motion, and enhances overall movement quality. Our flexibility work targets areas volleyball players rely on most — hips, hamstrings, shoulders, and calves — helping you move with more ease and less risk of strain.
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter programs. Your training will be based on your unique goals, sport position, and physical needs. Whether you're a libero, outside hitter, or middle blocker — we’ve got your back (and shoulders, and knees!).
Let us help you jump higher, hit harder, and stay healthy. Contact us today to learn more about our volleyball player programs or schedule an evaluation.
