Charlie Saul is an outfielder for Division I Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island. As a freshman, Charlie appeared in 49 games, making 47 starts for the Bulldogs. He racked up 46 hits on the season, including seven doubles, four triples, six home runs and 34 RBIs to earn All-America East second team honors and a spot on the on the conference's all-rookie team.
Amazingly, Charlie accomplished that memorable season despite dealing with hip pain for most of the spring. At the end of the season, the New Jersey native decided to get hip surgery followed by physical therapy at our center in Emerson. He worked primarily with Physical Therapist and Center Manager Mina Belfert, a clinician that he trusts and has worked with previously.
After a few weeks of rehabilitation, Mina was connected with Bruce Faulkner, center manager and physical therapist in Fair Lawn, for a VALD force place assessment for Charlie. Bruce and Mina collaborated, devising an efficient treatment plan for Charlie’s muscles based on real-time, objective measurements.
Charlie helped Bryant to a 36-19-1 record a season ago and is looking forward to getting back on the field next spring!
