For anyone else's DD that's gone through the same thing - any recommendations for a softball strength program or progression that can be done while one leg is on the mend? We've been adapting a number of her existing drills by kneeling or eliminating some of the movements, but I was wondering if anyone had anything softball-specific.

DD was diagnosed with a stress fracture in the tibia but caught it early enough in August that she should be able to play the later fall ball tournaments.

Sounds like a good time to rest for a few weeks or month to me. What age are we talking about?
15. But she's been on restrictions since the start of August and is following her PT regimen well. Hopefully, the bone re-scan next week will get the OK to remove the boot.

Half of the ask is that she's looking for something different than her existing PT and the other half is wanting to play if we get the full OK by the end of September.
