Pitcher Movement Restoration Series: Shoulder Flexion
baseball correctives movement performance pitchingAre you having any type of shoulder soreness or pain?
As the season goes on, arms start to get heavy, sore, and some times painful. It is crucial for us to try to restore any type of movement limitation before we step on the mound again to reduce any risk of injury and to be able to perform at our best.
One of the many things I look at in a pitcher as they go through the season is shoulder flexion. If this area stiffens up on you after an outing, there are things you can do to restore that tissue and movement quality before you throw again.
In this video, I walk you through a few movements and exercises that will improve shoulder flexion and help you recover in time for your next time off the mound to keep you throwing at your best!
