Pitching Motion Rehab for Tommy John Pitchers

"Even though your motion is by the 'book', Tommy John surgery (or any Throwing Arm discomfort) is nature's way of telling you something in your pitching motion needs to be corrected."

What can Professional Pitching Solutions do for you?

Now, at the same time you're working through your Tommy John protocol, you can be rehabbing your pitching motion 'balance'.  When you finally complete your physical rehab and begin your throwing protocols, you'll place less stress on your Throwing Arm than even before.  Even better, once you're cleared to go back to the mound, you'll experience greater pitching success than you ever dreamed possible.

Root Cause for Arm Injuries. 

As soon as “Pitching Experts” stop disguising obvious Arm and Leg movements as pitching motion solutions and begin teaching solutions in the terms of specific Glove Hand and Front Foot positions, the Tommy John Surgery epidemic of will subside.  

Professional Pitching Solution’s precise Glove Hand/Front Foot instruction actually forces your overall Arm and Leg actions to consistently move in an optimal way.  You’ll see your Professional Pitching Solution actions create extraordinary ‘balance’ in an incredibly short time, produce amazing results through an effortless motion and, more importantly, create a Tommy John resistant pitching motion. 

What Really Happens during your Pitching Motion?

A pitching motion with excellent location and superior arm speed, a relatively Tommy John resistant motion, finds your Lower Body launching your Arms, from one Elbow to the other Elbow, around a vertical axis from your Head to your Hips. You snap your Throwing Hand through your natural release point to deliver your pitch to your target. 

Ideally, when your Front Foot makes contact with the ground, your Front Toe points directly to your target.  Milli-seconds after your Front Foot hits the ground, you fire your Upper Body around your vertical Core.  While all this happens, you physically use your Elbow to Elbow alignment to keep your motion in balance much the same way a tight-rope walker uses their balancing pole to keep from falling.  Your Glove Hand makes more subtle adjustments to keep your Elbow to Elbow alignment just where you need it to be. With your motion perfectly balanced, you allow your Throwing Hand to naturally and effortlessly deliver your pitch right through your target.

"While I was throwing the first thing I noticed is that I am pitching pain free.  My elbow has been barking everyday I was throwing but not yesterday."
Texas Ranger Pitcher after 2nd PPS Virtual Session.

Pitching Force

Every motion produces the same amount of force; whether perfectly ‘in balance’ or totally ‘out of balance’. 

In an ‘in balance’ motion, your Elbow to Elbow alignment allows your Core to stay vertical.  Your Shoulders freely rotate around your Head to drive every ounce of force directly into your Throwing Hand. 

In an ‘out of balance’ motion, your improper Arm and Leg movement cause your Core to “tilt”.  As your Shoulders fire around your Head, you literally “wobble” around a “tilted” Core much the same way a spinning top “wobbles” when a wad of gum sticks to its side.  Now, to deliver the pitch to your target, you adjust the Throwing Arm angle from your Throwing Elbow to your Throwing Hand (remember, your “tilt” controls your Elbow to Elbow angle).  You new Throwing Elbow to Throwing Hand angle (you’re actually using Eye/Hand coordination to find your target) drives a portion of the force from you motion into your Throwing Elbow.  When you allow your motion’s force to move into your Throwing Elbow long enough, you need Tommy John Surgery.

 

When talking about the cause of ligament ruptures, Dr. John Bergfeld, executive director of Cleveland Clinic Sports Health, said, "It's the mechanics of the way you throw. It is an unnatural motion that wears on the ligaments that causes small tears and fraying.  Repeated small tears add up to one big tear."

Tommy John Prehab

Let’s step back a second … right now, you’re pitching motion is by “the book”.  You perform all the gross Arm and Leg actions expected from a Top Flight Pitcher, you throw the ball better than 90 MPH but, lo and behold, you still “tilt”, you still see Hitters driving your pitches much too often and, worst yet, you still experience discomfort in your Throwing Arm.

Now you have Professional Pitching Solutions to take away your Core disruptions, control your ERA and make your Throwing Arm Tommy John resistant before your Throwing Arm needs an invasive, surgical solution!
