What’s the worst mistake I see players make in the offseason?

Thinking the pain they had in their arm would just go away in the offseason when they aren’t throwing. That doesn’t solve anything. The reason the pain was there never went away, you just aren’t doing the same thing that caused the pain.

I’ve seen too many players miss a season because they did not address their pain in the offseason.

If you or your kid had pain during the season, don’t jeopardize next season, get that pain addressed now! Schedule an evaluation today! Link in bio.

You are 50% less likely to have an injury in season if you are on an arm care program as a pitcher!!

What does a program look like? It is individualized to your body and your throwing schedule. We need to be at our best when we step foot on the mound, but we also need to get stronger in season to throw harder.

Each day you should be doing something, but each day should look different.

Does your kid get shoulder pain when throwing?

Chances are, they have a hard time stabilizing their shoulder blade at max rotation, which can cause some pinching in the shoulder.
This can also lead to compensations and pain in the elbow.

This is one of my favorite drills to improve that stability!

Give it a try or share with a teammate!

Big things to focus on:
Keep your shoulder away from your ear.

Get a muscle activation feeling on the bottom or your shoulder blade

Pick a weight that is challenging (hard to control) but not one that you will not be able to hold up for 5 reps.

Are you or is you kid having shoulder or elbow pain while throwing? Schedule an evaluation to get that cleared up today. Link in bio!

Pitching (or even hitting) is very rotational, starting with the neck. We can’t throw a strike or hit a ball we cannot see!

Cervical rotation allows our eyes to stay on target, even when the body is doing a lot to prepare and then produce a lot of power into the ball to throw gas or hit a bomb!

Without cervical rotation, we will lose focus on the ball, but worse yet, our body will find a way to get our eyes on the ball or target. What do these compensations do to us that our body has to make?

You guessed it, they put our body in a bad starting position to produce that power and end up causing problems at our shoulder and elbow.

CERVICAL MOBILITY HAS BEEN SHOWN AS A RISK FACTOR to pitchers for injuries.

Get your neck assessed and improve your mobility. Schedule an evaluation today and stay on the field the entire year. Link in bio.

You may need to look past the shoulders and upper back and the real cause of pain in your shoulder or elbow.

There is growing evidence suggesting that how well your hips can move can directly impact your mechanics, leading to increased stress at the shoulder and elbow.

Limited hip mobility is also a big cause for lower back and oblique injuries, which is high in the reason for time loss in pitchers.

Get your hip mobility in order. Schedule an evaluation today!

Does your shoulder feel unstable while throwing?

Closed chain stability (hand in the ground) go a long way in increasing that shoulder stability. Some times we just need to increase the shoulders awareness in space by putting some weight through it.

In this exercise, we are rotating our torso around our shoulder instead of shoulder around the torso. The added weight of our body helps “wake up” the correct muscles (the rotator cuff) to help you find the stability you are looking for.

Give it a try and share it with a teammate you think will help.

Are you having shoulder pain? Schedule an evaluation and our expert team will help you get rid of it!

How can your training stop you from being injured?

We may not be able to completely eliminate injuries but designing a training program around how your body moves go a long way to decrease your risk of injury.

Our performance training reinforces movement patterns we will encounter on the field or court. If we consistently try to get into positions our body cannot handle under load, in the weight room, we will try to fault to those during competition.

When we compensate in the weight room, we are telling our body that it is ok to get into bad positions under higher stress during game play, this increases our chance of injury.
