ArmCare Package (w/ programming)

The Pre-Throwing Program is a complete warm-up routine designed to focus on soft tissue / mobility and meant to be used on throwing days.   It provides a step-by-step process with videos covering your pre-game protocol including a) Breathing/Reset, b) Flexibility/Soft Tissue, c) Mobility, d) Band Activation and e) Movement.

This program is meant to provide you with a comprehensive and easy protocol similar to that being done by top professional ball players. It is meant to be performed as a posts-throwing protocol to restore range of motion and help maintain appropriate levels of mobility.

The Non-Throwing Days Program consists of two different components which are meant to be performed after your warm-up and before cool down.  They include the Cuff Strengthening Program and the UCL Protection Program.  They are meant to be performed prior to strength training on non-throwing days.

Activation bands (black and red) are designed to be easily transportable to the gym or field. They are primarily used as part of a throwing warm up to target specific muscles and movements. They help activate and balance rotator cuff and surrounding muscles, prepare the arm to accelerate/decelerate and increase blood flow prior to throwing.

Massage Balls are used a form of self-myofascial release that can be as powerful as any massage device to help relieve adhesions in the fascia, relieving pain and improving function in sore muscles. They can help improve muscle performance, increase joint range of motion and decrease muscle fatigue and soreness.

Massage stick roller is easy to carry and can be taken and used anywhere. It is another form of soft tissue work to relieve soreness and stimulate circulation, targeting the biceps, triceps and forearm specifically. By removing adhesions to the tissue in these areas, athletes can also help reduce stress to the UCL ligament.

Foam rolling is an effective, inexpensive, and convenient way to reduce soft tissue adhesions and scar tissue accumulation, while getting many of the benefits of stretching w/o causing unwanted “lengthening”. Also known as “self-myofascial release”, it helps simulate the muscle spindles causing the muscle itself to relax.

The Grip Strengthener is a highly portable piece of equipment that can help target the flexor-pronator muscle group. It can help build strength around the area and also improve grip strength vital to batters as well. The compact design allows you to fit it in your pocket, or gym bag, making it easy to take anywhere.

The Club Bell has been around for ages and can be used to effectively coach deceleration through pronation as well as helping strengthen the flexor pronator muscles that help protect the UCL ligament. It is an excellent tool for improving grip and forearm strength. It can also help athletes “feel” pronation more effectively.

The Wrist and Forearm Trainer is a strengthening tool that strengthens the flexor carpi radialis, a relatively thin muscle that assists in abduction of the hand and wrist and is part of the flexor / pronator” group, a group of muscles that help stabilize and protect the elbow, specifically the UCL - especially in the “layback” position.  Plates purchased separately.

The Mini-Rebounder is used as part of our post-throwing recovery and UCL protection protocol. It is designed to help develop the elbow/shoulder’s ability to absorb force efficiently and protect the elbow during decel. This is particularly important during elbow ext. when large amounts of force need to be decelerated quickly.

Plyo Balls are soft rubber balls that are just slightly larger than a baseball and designed to be thrown against a wall without worrying about excess rebound. This allows the athlete to get all ranges of throwing intensity work in, without the need for a throwing partner. Available in 3.5, 5, 7 , 9 oz and 1 and 2 lbs.

The Light Weight Bands can be used for both building strength and improving mobility. They supply 2 to 15 lbs. of either assistance or resistance. Great for post-throw recovery training, and for adding resistances or assistance to bench press, push up, squats or a variety of pulling exercises designed for the overhead athlete.

The Gym Bag helps our customers keep their equipment in one place.  It can be used as a field bag or simply a place to keep everything together in once place.  It's dimensions are 21" x 10" x 11".   it comes with a strap and several compartments.
