LOWER BACK STRETCHES FOR PITCHERS

Nearly 12 % of all baseball injuries are sustained by the spine and core muscles. Think about the high speed involved in swinging a bat, and it’s not hard to see how this can trigger muscle spasms, disc herniation or even a stress fracture in the lumbar vertebrae (referred to as “Spondylolysis” or “Spondylolisthesis”).

An untrained core and poor body mechanics only increase the risk of injury.  If you’re a baseball player, then it is essential to build your core muscles and to reinforce a neutral spine position.

The Pelvic Clock® workout gives your body everything it needs:

• Strengthens deep core muscles surrounding damaged vertebrae

• Improves Core Stability

• Corrects an imbalanced, abnormally-tilted pelvis:

  Anterior Pelvic Tilt

  Posterior Pelvic Tilt

  Lateral Pelvic Tilt

  Rotated or Twisted Pelvis

• Prevents or stops painful muscle spasms

• Maintains healthy movement in the lumbar spine (lower back)
