Common areas of tightness/stiffness in baseball athletes is the back of the shoulder, the posterior capsule, teres minor, and infraspinatus. Stiffness in these areas can be common in individuals that use these muscles as their “brakes” with throwing and not allowing the body to follow through after a throw.
Both graston and ART can be done to help improved shoulder internal rotation, a motion that is common to be limited in baseball throwers due to stiffness in the back of the shoulder.
Graston can be utilized to help loosen up the stiff tissue to allow for improved mobility and blood flow to the area.
ART can be utilized to help improve motion in these muscles to improve mobility.

Pain with throwing a baseball? Shoulder and elbow pain are 2 of the most common areas for injuries in baseball throwing. Often the problem stems from throwing mechanics and repetitive strain on those areas. These injuries may resolve with rest, however if the reason from throwing is not addresses it will be a never-ending cycle of pain over time. Dr. Joe (AKA Baseball Joe!) takes baseball and athletes alike through video demonstration to break down mechanics and see what the cause of injury may be.
3 things to look at with throwing mechanics are:
~Is an individual using their hips for push off or relying on only their upper body?
~When the front foot lands, where is the back shoulder position?
~Is an individual using their body to follow through and not relying on their shoulder to act as their break?
Faults in any of these areas can lead to compensations in shoulder or elbow and cause unnecessary stresses to be placed on them. These are not the only things to be looked at for a throwing evaluation but are great starting points in discovering the “WHY” behind the injury.
