Athletic Training and Conditioning, Inc. has developed a method of speeding up an athlete’s recovery after a game or workout. By spending less time recovering, athletes can spend more time making adjustments between games. Better recovery doesn’t simply mean the athlete is able to participate longer in events. Better recovery means better performance!
An athlete’s body responds during a game or hard workout by losing range of motion at the shoulder, elbow, chest, spine, hips and legs. If left unaddressed, this can cause the athlete’s performance to decrease over the course of a season and potentially lead to an overuse injury.
An effective recovery and body care program should go beyond ice packs and “band work”. A good active recovery program should focus on the following:
- Circulation of fresh blood
- Mobility restoration of the lower body
- Mobility restoration of the trunk
- Mobility restoration of the upper body
- Unique needs of the individual pitcher
An athlete should look for an active recovery and arm care program that:
- Maximizes potential
- Decreases deficiencies
- Increases durability
- Minimizes injuries
Athletic Training and Conditioning, Inc. has experience with addressing these issues in professional athletes and is available to assist our local college, high school, and middle school athletes.
