Understanding Shoulder Pain from Throwing
Throwing isn’t just an action; it’s a complex performance that demands precision from your muscles, tendons, and joints.
When that harmony is disrupted, pain takes center stage.
Conditions like rotator cuff injuries, shoulder impingement, or tendinitis can be the unsolicited performers causing this pain.
They can hijack your ability to play, steal your comfort, and sideline your ambitions.
But there’s a silver lining. With the right approach, you can reclaim your role in the game.
4 Ways To Treat Shoulder Pain From Throwing You Need To Hear
Advanced Mobility Drills
Precision and fluidity are paramount. Mobility drills that focus on the intricate dance of the shoulder’s anatomy are vital.
These aren’t your run-of-the-mill stretches.
We dive into the nuances of your movement, refining the mobility of the glenohumeral joint with exercises like the Sleeper Stretch and Cross-Body Stretch, ensuring each action is as smooth as the perfect curveball.
Kinetic Chain Optimization
Think of your body as a team—each part relies on the other to win.
A hitch in your step can lead to a misfire in your throw.
We scrutinize your kinetic chain, from the ground up, to reinforce your foundation.
It’s about synchronized strength—fortifying your stance with exercises like lunges and squats, and ensuring your core isn’t the weak link with planks and rotational moves that echo the power behind a throw.
Functional Strengthening Routines
Power up your throw with a targeted strengthening regimen.
We’re not just hoisting weights; we’re enhancing your muscle performance for the diamond.
By integrating exercises like External Rotation at 90 Degrees Abduction and Prone Horizontal Abduction, we bulletproof the very muscles that fire when you throw, enhancing both their endurance and their might.
Biomechanical Analysis and Correction
The art of your throw deserves the precision of science.
With biomechanical analysis, we capture the essence of your motion, breaking down the speed and trajectory to refine your form.
It’s a collaborative process, where slow-motion capture meets hands-on adjustments, all aimed at reducing the unnecessary strain that may lead to injury.
