Reply to "Intersting article on GIRD for thowers"

As explained in the article, GIRD is a result of excessive overhand throwing. Internal Rotation Range of motion is lost at the expense of External Rotation during the throw. Sleeper stretch is one of the most common stretches performed to help gain back internal rotation. Elbow extension is also another good stretch to utilize since the elbow extension range of motion is lost as well. I have a PDF if you are interested that shows these two stretches as well as a few other pre and post throwing exercises. Post your email and I can send it over.

Thanks,

Austin
