Shoulder Pain- Fast Solution

Brad is a HS baseball player. Going into the season there was some question as to how much work he would get as a pitcher. About 4 weeks before tryouts he shared that his shoulder was bothering him, and he was unable to throw a baseball without pain. Not good when tryouts are coming up. His initial thoughts were to just keep throwing with the idea that it would go away, or he would just tough it out during the season.

He just happened to mention one day that his arm was hurting. Digging a little deeper revealed more about his problems. Then some tweaking of his training along with some home work. Including I,T,W,L arm raises, foam rolling, and some targeted tennis ball.

Fast forward 6 weeks later. Arm pain is gone, velocity is up. As is his position in the rotation. Initially he would have been hopeful to be number 2 or 3 in the rotation. He started opening day, and did well.

Don't get caught up in ignoring pain hoping it will just go away. Get plan to fix the problem.
