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…

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…

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 👏

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 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).

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 🚢 🥎⚾️

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.

@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.
