Arm Distress Cause

As soon as your weight shifts from center, your naturally engage your Throwing Arm to keep you balanced.

Any weight shift to any one side of your Body ...

1.  Delays your Throwing Arm from instantly responding to your Lower Body activity,
2.  Your Throwing Arm delay prevents your Lower Body energy from immediately moving into your Throwing Hand.
3.  Your Lower Body energy stops in other parts of your Throwing Arm.

Effect

Your mis-directed energy slowly breaks down your Arm until you can't throw any more.

"It's the mechanics of the way you throw. It is an unnatural motion that wears on the ligaments that causes small tears and fraying.  Repeated small tears add up to one big tear." ~ Dr. John Bergfeld, executive director of Cleveland Clinic Sports Health

Prevention starts with listening to your Body.

An example of "listening to your Body"
Ryan Madson's Injury Prone Storyboard

= 2.17 ERA over 83 innings in 6 years.

Ryan Madson's Storyboard clearly indicates he continually keeps his weight to the Home Plate side of his Body.  His Throwing Elbow so far away from his Shoulder line means his Lower Body energy is not going into his Throwing Hand, but settling in his Throwing Arm. Madson dismissed reported discomfort at the beginning of 2012 Spring Training as something "he goes through annually"???  Had he listened to his Body years ago and found a way to stop shifting his weight to the Home Plate side of his Body, maybe, just maybe, instead of being out for the entire 2012 season, he'd be on an active MLB roster for the 2012 season???
