We have a full body assessment for quarterbacks that come to us that helps us determine a quarterbacks deficiencies, strengths, and overall needs. We work hand in hand with the quarterbacks coach/skill trainer as we relay what our takeaway is from the assessment and how we are going to attack it in the weight room and during his warm up.
Several areas of what we look for in this assessment are:
*Head to toe posture evaluation
*How the shoulder rotates
*How the scapula upwardly rotates
*Single leg stability
*Hip/Thoracic rotation mobility
*Several other movement and mobility screens that we find valuable in throwers, specifically quarterbacks
These measurements all play a role in throwing a football, specifically ball release and velocity on the ball.
Below is an example of 3 different shoulders that have 3 different needs. Knowing how your shoulder rotates and understanding if your shoulder is stiff, average, or hypermobile is key in proper shoulder care.
Steven holds a bachelor’s degree in Human Performance and is recognized by the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.
