Liability Policy

Last Updated 9/15/2008

Chris O'Leary has established this Liability Policy to explain to you (the visitor) about the physical risks associated with the administration of any physical activity related to sport, namely, baseball pitching and hitting.

When reading the materials on this web site, please remember that Chris O'Leary is an analyst, not a doctor or other trained medical professional. In the conversations that he has with people, his goal is merely to try to help them — and the medical professionals that they or their child are under the care of — identify, understand, and address the possible root cause of the problems that they are experiencing.

None of the information, instruction, comments, and/or advice provided by Chris O'Leary should take precedence over the advice of a doctor or certified health care professional.

1. Consent

Your use of this website constitute your consent to the terms of this Liability Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Liability Policy, your use of the drills discussed on this site is strictly prohibited.

Chris O'Leary may occasionally update this Liability Policy. When he does, Chris O'Leary will also revise the "last update" date at the top of this Liability Policy.

2. Scope of Practice

The information, instruction and advice provided by Chris O'Leary is designed to enhance your baseball skills, expand your knowledge of baseball pitching and hitting, and help to prevent pitching-related injury. It is not in Chris O'Leary's scope of practice (i.e., proper legal parameters and professional duties) to give a formal diagnose or provide a definition evaluation of any visitor's medical or health condition. All Chris O'Leary offers is his opinion.

Therefore, it is very important that you receive a pre-participation physical examination by a licensed physician before athletic participation in, and the administration of, any program discussed on this website (including any exercises, drills, or throwing protocols, etc.).

Only a licensed physician can advise you on proper technique when performing any exercise, drill or throwing protocol advocated by Chris O'Leary.

3. Accountability

Chris O'Leary assumes no liability for injury that may result from the information, instruction, and advice provided on this website.

You, the visitor, assume all liability.

Again, please consult your licensed physician, athletic trainer or strength and conditioning coach prior to beginning any strength training or throwing program advocated by Chris O'Leary. Only a licensed physician can guide you in regard to the number of sets and amount of time and/or number of repetitions for each protocol provided by Chris O'Leary.

If, at any time, you have questions regarding this Liability Policy, you may contact Chris O'Leary by e-mail at thepainguy@gmail.com.
