Cardio can be a great healer if you aren’t doing an activity that worsens your pain. Cardio increases your body’s ability to move nutrients around, which can help heal injuries and pain faster. It also helps eliminate waste products that might slow down recovery.  As a starting point, practice low-intensity, low-impact cardio for 30-60 minutes, keeping your heart rate between 120-150 beats per minute. A great exercise you can do is incline treadmill walking.  A personal trainer can work with you to develop a cardio routine that’s specific to your needs and help with your individualized injury healing.

Did you know that 68.9% of elbow injuries in pitchers are tied to tight hip rotation? The connection between stride length, hip mobility, and elbow health is clear, and it's time to rethink what we teach on the mound. Overstriding places unnecessary tension on the fascia and increases stress on the elbow. Adjusting stride length and improving hip mechanics can dramatically reduce injury risks while boosting performance. 👉 Swipe through the carousel to learn more about these insights and how they can help pitchers stay healthy and strong. #PitchingMechanics #InjuryPrevention #SavingTheAthleticElbow #TommyJohnAwareness

Stretching is KEY to preventing injury! Incorporating flexibility training into your routine will help you to increase your range of motion, decrease the likelihood of injury, and help to warm your body up before a heavy lift!

The intensity of exercise does not increase the chances of injury. - Proper form and technique play a crucial role in minimizing injury risk during intense workouts. - By maintaining safety measures, such as gradual accumulation of muscular fatigue by levaraging constant tension and slow movement, you can safely push your limits without compromising on injury prevention. - Training under supervision or guidance is another way to ensure proper execution of high-intensity exercises, reducing risk. - Understanding and respecting personal limits contribute to injury-free intense workouts, allowing for sustainable progress.

What is a dislocated elbow? A dislocated elbow is when the humerus (upper arm) bone is moved out of place of the ulna and radius (the two forearm bones). This can be sustained from a fall onto an outstretched arm, or an event where the arm is twisted in two opposite directions. How long does a dislocated elbow take to recover? 1. When you get started.  2. Gain motion slowly over time.  3. Get end range motion then slowly progress to strengthening.  4. Respect your pain level. Dislocations are not a “no pain, no gain” type of injury. Moving in a pain free range is ideal for a faster and full recovery. This is a progression that takes place in therapy, with expected progress from week to week. In total, a good 3 month after the initial injury, usually the injured dislocated elbow can go back to full functional activities without fear.

Pull-ups: A test of upper body and grip strength. Men shoot for 10 and women go for 3 (without dropping from the bar). Why? Upper body muscle mass helps protect us from injury, improves metabolism, and allows us to pull ourselves up off the floor if we fall. Want to take it to the next level? To be competitive in SEAL training, 18-20 is expected Let us know how you did! Check the comments for a video on form. Palms forward. Come to full extension/hang between each rep. Chin to the bar to count the rep. P.s. This is one of my favorites World record (set in 2024): 77 in one minute!
