Pitching Mobility: The Importance of Cervical Mobility

It's incredible the influence a passive contributor can have on positional integrity during the throw and your ability to properly rotate your shoulders through the axis of rotation. Make sure to check out the video for more on the guiding principles and muscles/joints involved + how to identify it in high level throwers, how to self-assess your own cervical spine, and how to go about fixing it.

What separates Tread Athletics?
Unlike most training philosophies, we take all-inclusive approach to strength, power, and velocity development. We don’t just evaluate and address strength and performance, but lifestyle factors, movement dysfunction, and nutritional habits as well. Rather than fitting athletes into one cut and dry mold, we adapt our programming to address each athlete’s individual needs and goals.
