recovering from soreness

Andrew100+ posts

I know that this has been discussed before, but little has ever really come out of those discussions. Besides icing after a practice/game/bullpen (whatever it may be), which by the way I don't really think helps me that much if at all, is there any other way to improve recovery time?

Ice will help reduce swelling but otherwise does nothing for arm recovery. Instead, you should be doing some aerobic work after you pitch. Activities like light jogging, riding an exercise bike, etc. will help increase blood flow to the arm (which brings oxygen and other nutrients) without further working the arm. Of course, good nutrition provides the nutrients carried by the blood.
