It takes time to recover from shoulder surgery. It may be six months or more before you are able to fully return to the game under normal circumstances. But with Wonderweight all that is changed!
Firstly injuries can be prevented by warming up with Wonderweight before a game. We recommend a training program that includes exercises to strengthen and increase range of motion using medium Wonderweight. If injury does occur recovery time has been shown to decrease using the rotory motion involved in Wonderweight's action. Even after surgery Wonderweight can help return a pitcher to the game without missing a season. Not only that but because of the increased co-ordination involved in Wonderweight use he will return with greater pitching accuracy!!
The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission reports that each year more than 627,000 baseball-related injuries are treated in hospitals, doctors' offices, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital emergency rooms. The most common baseball injuries include mild soft tissue injuries, such as muscle pulls (strains) and ligament dinjuries (sprains) which can be prevented if the player's muscles are properly warmed and toned.
Baseball has historically placed significant emphasis on training programs that stress the repetition of various physical movements, in the development of throwing, hitting, and base-running skills. The sport has a correspondingly very high incidence of injuries resulting from an overload on the ability of a structure to endure the repetitive movement, particularly arms and shoulders. Including Wonderweight in training can reduce the possibility of these stresses.
Pitchers sustain more injuries than any other baseball player. The over-hand throwing of a baseball by a pitcher is an unnatural motion for the elbow and the shoulder to endure. The mechanism of the baseball pitch involves rotation of the shoulder joint, twisting of the upper arm and elbow, extension of the forearm, and flexion of the wrist. The serious shoulder injuries sustained by pitchers primarily relate to the rotator cuff. The rotation of the shoulder during a pitching motion will often lead to a grinding or displacement of the structure. Wonderweights strengths are the activation of muscles that surround and support the shoulder, strengthening not just the Rotator Cuff muscles but those of the back, torso and core, thus helping prevent injury.
