**Last updated: 10/30/2026**

This Privacy Policy explains how PRO Athlete Physical Therapy LLC ("PRO Athlete," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit proathletept.com, start.proathletept.com, or any of our booking pages, or when you use our services at our Lakewood and Centennial, Colorado locations.

All of our services are cash-pay. We do not bill insurance. By using our website or services, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our [Terms of Service](https://www.proathletept.com/terms-of-service?hsLang=en).

## Information We Collect

We collect information you give us directly and information collected automatically when you use our website.

**Information you give us**

- **Contact details:** name, email address, phone number, and ZIP code when you fill out a form, book a call, or schedule an appointment.
- **Athlete details:** the athlete's name, age, sport, position, and the concern you describe when booking.
- **Payment details:** payments are processed by our payment processor. We do not store full card numbers.
- **Communications:** messages you send us by email, text, phone, or website chat.

**Information collected automatically**

- **Device and usage data:** browser type, device type, pages visited, and how you arrived at our site.
- **Cookies and pixels:** small files and code from us and our advertising and analytics partners. See "Cookies, Pixels, and Your Choices" below.

Clinical records created during your care are kept separately from our marketing systems and are not used for advertising.

## How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

- Schedule calls, evaluations, and appointments
- Provide our services and communicate with you about them
- Process payments and send receipts
- Send appointment reminders, payment notifications, and clinic updates
- Send educational content and offers, if you have opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time)
- Improve our website and services
- Advertise our services, including showing ads to people who have visited our website and to people similar to our customers, as described below

## How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as described here.

- **Service providers:** companies that help us run our business, such as our website host, customer relationship and scheduling software, email and text messaging providers, and payment processor. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
- **Advertising platforms:** we work with advertising platforms such as Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google. We may share your name, email address, and ZIP code with these platforms in a protected (hashed) form so they can show our ads to you or to people with similar interests, or measure how our ads perform. We do not share treatment details, diagnoses, or clinical records with advertising platforms.
- **Legal reasons:** when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of PRO Athlete, our clients, or others.

**No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.** Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except service providers that help us deliver text messages.

## Cookies, Pixels, and Your Choices

Our website uses cookies and tracking pixels, including the Meta Pixel and Google tools, to understand how visitors use our site and to measure and improve our advertising. These tools may record pages you visit and actions you take, such as booking a call.

Your choices:

- **Browser settings:** you can block or delete cookies in your browser.

- **Email:** click "unsubscribe" in any marketing email.

Blocking cookies may affect how parts of our website work.

## Minors

Many of the athletes we serve are under 18. For athletes under 18, a parent or legal guardian provides contact information and consents to services on the athlete's behalf.

Our website is intended for parents, guardians, and athletes 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. We do not use an athlete's information for advertising when the athlete is under 18. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

## Security and Retention

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We keep information as long as needed to provide services, meet legal and professional record-keeping requirements, and resolve disputes.

## Your Rights

You may ask us to:

- Tell you what personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete your information, subject to legal record-keeping requirements
- Stop using your information for advertising, including removing you from lists shared with advertising platforms

To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will respond within 45 days.

## Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a new "Last updated" date.

      "text" : "For most high school and college pitchers, a UCL injury doesn't happen with one bad pitch. It's the result of overuse sometimes over years. Before a tear happens, players can feel a heavy arm where they can't get loose, a sudden 3-5 mph drop in velocity, or inner elbow tenderness. If the ligament finally fails, athletes describe a sharp, electric pop and sometimes numbness in the pinky and ring fingers."

      "text" : "Yes. Recent high-level data shows that approximately 80% of elite throwers can return to play without surgery. However, rest is not rehab. Simply sitting on the couch for four to six weeks causes the surrounding muscles to lose strength. Healing requires controlled loading, restoring lost ligament stiffness, and optimizing the kinetic chain (hips, core, shoulder) to take the stress off the elbow."

      "text" : "Only a trained orthopedic surgeon can decide if a UCL surgery is necessary so if we have any doubt, we make sure to send you to one ASAP. The key is to remove the guesswork by looking at the MRI, specifically the location of the tear. Proximal tears (closer to the shoulder) have a 90% non-surgical success rate, making them prime candidates for physical therapy. Distal tears (closer to the wrist) have only a 41% success rate, which often means starting with a visit to an orthopedic surgeon trained in baseball."

      "text" : "Every surgeon has a slightly different post-op plan and most of them include at least a couple weeks of total rest. But you can (and likely should) begin moving your wrist, hand, and fingers within your brace. Research from Buchanan in 2025 shows athletes who started physical therapy earlier (within 14 days) got back to playing faster without negative effects."

      "text" : "At PRO Athlete PT we like to say that the shoulder is the gateway to the elbow's soul. If the UCL is compromised or unstable, the shoulder has to work overtime to protect the arm during the throwing motion. Over time, this compensation pattern causes rotator cuff or labrum pain on top of the elbow injury. This is why our evaluations always assess the entire body, not just the site of the pain."

      "text" : "Dead arm is a symptom, not a diagnosis. It can be an early warning sign of UCL Debt meaning the ligament has lost its stiffness and the arm is struggling to transfer energy. If a player consistently complains of a dead arm, it needs to be evaluated before it turns into a structural tear."

      "text" : "The old ice your arm after every game philosophy is outdated. Ice is for pain relief, not healing — it restricts blood flow. If a player just felt a pop or has sharp pain and swelling right after a game, ice for 15 minutes to manage pain. Heat is for blood flow and recovery. Once past the initial 48-hour window of an acute injury, heat is generally preferred. Neither ice nor heat fixes the root cause. Active recovery and addressing mechanical flaws will always outperform passive treatments."
