It depends on what degree of lower about which we are speaking. The picture of blackburns and all of the information that I based that post on was straight out of my literature from some of the best orthopedists and arguably the best baseball pt in the country, Phil Donley. Everything I write is based on some expert source or research. If you want to email me I can provide you with the direct handout on diagnosing this condition. And Ive been to the doctor and pt enough to know that not all of them are at the top of their field and many don’t specialize in baseball adaptations and therapy

I’m not sure about this one. My kid is getting some treatment for his shoulder, and both his sports orthopedic doctor and later his physical therapist said that EVERYONE’s strong side shoulder is lower than their weak side shoulder. Nothing to do with pitching and it’s not pathological. We checked the family at home and a couple folks at work, and sure enough, doc & therapist were right.

Blewitt good stuff this is something even guys in the bigs have problems with such as Curt Schilling. When I had this problem the orthopedist told me it is especially important to do the sleeper stretch to increase flexibility and strength.
