He was dealing with back pain. Now he's touching 90.
Cody came in with low back discomfort.
The obvious move is to stretch the low back...
Right?
Not if it's coming from his ankles.
Watch his lunge and squat.
His heels pop up
Take that to the mound
His low back is doing all the work to slow him down.
So we got to work
- split squats
- calf raises
- knee to wall ankle shifts
- heel elevated goblet squat
- single leg RDL with a reach
The back discomfort is gone. And he just hit 90 for the first time.
If your pitcher is ALWAYS complaining about a tight low back after throwing...
This could be why.
