CSP Elite Baseball Development Podcast – Pinch Hit Friday #54: When in Doubt, Chase Scapular Posterior Tilt

About the Author: Eric Cressey

This week’s Pinch Hit Friday is now available. In this episode, I discuss the findings of a recent study that looked at the injury implications of scapular positioning in a population of baseball pitchers. More importantly, I offer a rationale for how these injuries occur, and what training modifications need to be in place to keep pitchers healthy.

In lieu of a sponsor for this episode, I wanted to give you a quick heads-up that my popular course, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Diagnoses and Interventions, is on sale for $50 off through Sunday at midnight. You can learn more HERE.

In this course, we take an unprecedented deep dive into understanding, identifying, and treating Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Featuring detailed anatomical animations, guided cadaver dissections, practical exercises, and powerful case studies, it takes you “under the skin” to give rehabilitation specialists and fitness professionals essential knowledge surrounding this potentially debilitating condition. You can learn more HERE.

*Yes, you read that right: the product includes excerpts of a cadaver dissection (and accompanying voiceover) for the absolute best look at upper extremity functional anatomy that you can imagine. It’s a remarkable perspective if you want to truly appreciate how structure dictates function. Gross Anatomy was the single-most beneficial course of my academic career, and I’m excited to share a glimpse into that world with you.
