Just in case anyone still thinks the softball pitching motion is a "natural" motion. Softball needs the same pitch counts as baseball. The evidence is mounting. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
Please take the time to vote on this whether you are #Baseball or #Softball
Is it normal for pitching coaches to have young athletes sign a confidentiality agreement that if breached results in a monetary fine? @Softballbc
Looking forward to this @JordanStrength!
Over the past few years I have been working with @plantiga as they develop their smart insole technology. This Friday, @KailaHoltz & I will look at clinical applications of wearable tech and show some of the preliminary validation and use cases of @plantiga - and it’s FREE! 👇👇
This recent meta analysis of 20 RCTs finds that #PRP is superior to visco injections for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. #physiatry #sportsmedicine #orthopedics #knee #kneepain #osteoarthritis #orthobiologics #plateletrichplasma josr-online.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Please join @EmorySportsMed Lunch and Learn tomorrow at noon EST for an interactive discussion on the biomechanics of overhead athletes. @KailaHoltz will discuss softball, @NeeruJayanthi will discuss tennis, and I will discuss baseball. Same zoom link as today! #sportsmedicine
Now this is REAL coaching👇 It starts with hypothesis testing. When you can identify gaps in performance and reasons for them then you can create drills/cues/constraints to address the gaps 👏
Feel Goals: ⬇️ Active pulling front side ⬇️ Dropping hands/barrel to get to pitch ⬆️ Delivering back hand/barrel ⬆️ Side bend to deliver posture to pitch Constraints: 1️⃣ Split Grip 2️⃣ Low Tee 3️⃣ Just through barrel delivery 4️⃣ Task = line drive
Been prescribing yoga to restricted throwers for a long time. Now that Cressey said it’s a good idea maybe they will take my advice 😂

I don’t know which I love more, the throw or the reaction by her teammates. 😍 🥎🥎🥎
Today Bell will donate 5¢ towards #mentalhealth initiatives for each use of #BellLetsTalk. My med school running buddy died by her own hand last month. This January it’s personal. We need to do more for individuals suffering in silence. End the stigma. Sick not weak.
@thepainguy Love a good baseball classic. jospt.org/doi/pdf/10.251…
@thepainguy Eccentric anconeus activity protects the UCL during MER to REL. Tight flexor-pronator mass is bad two ways: 1. If pronator is on, anconeus (the antagonist is off) 2. If pronator is on, the myotendinous junction is displaced distally (off the UCL).
Just another lazy Saturday afternoon convo with @DomiNate34 He tells me I text too fast.🔥
Doing some research tonight into injury predictors in military population: 1. Anaerobic power 2. Static balance I suspect these are likely the same in a baseball/softball population. We are so busy looking at passive ROM of shoulder and hips I think we miss the 🚢 🥎⚾️
Had a stellar evening collecting pitching & hitting data with some of Vancouver's finest at East Van Sports Rehab. Thanks to @maholtzy for setting us up!
Read #5 of the 5 takeaways. High chronic workloads are protective (with adequate rest) and at submax intensity. Spikes in workload are detrimental. ⚾️🥎

@PitchingScience The subscapularis stands out to me. It's like the gastrocnemius of the shoulder. Also reminds me if it's tight and contracted and short and dysfunctional, that's probably bad.
Episode with Robin Lund @Lunderton drops tomorrow! "Don't look at yourself as a pitching coach, look at yourself as a pitching trainer." Subscribe: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pat…
@PitchingScience What she does from 1 to 2 is almost as amazing as what she does from 2 to 3. And, might I add, is the part we teach kids out of which never lets them recover to get back to where they need to be to get in sequence from TOB to finish
In the silos of sports medicine who is responsible for figuring out the "why" of someone's injury? Case example: A baseball pitcher is referred to me (from an orthopedic surgeon) for shoulder pain refractory to arthroscopy (joint was normal), manual therapy and rehab exercises.
