In this week's More Than Velocity, Ryan wraps up his talk with Mike Killian.  You are in for a ride as the conversation goes from snake venom and rats to rehabbing a bone fracture of a collegiate pitcher throwing 90+.  

Press play and hold on.

In this week's More Than Velocity, we cover the comeback of a Division I pitcher who was experiencing arm pain and the steps it took to get him back on the mound.

The discussion covers drills and training tools related to both the biomechanical and physiologic demands of regaining the throwing motion and arm strength after injury.

And an important note to it all is that not all drills are created equally, and not all drills are beneficial. The way to execute is to individualize everything by understanding athletes' strength and range of motion responses.

Mike Killian works with all types of athletes in their return to performance, but his forte is baseball pitchers and getting them out of pain.

He's interesting because, in the traditional sense of "rehabilitation", the athlete gets passed from the therapist to the coach and typically loses contact with the therapist when re-entering competition.

Mike's offering is different. He never loses contact with the athlete as he's both a clinician and coach—it's a seamless transition from injury to return to performance programming to competition.

In this episode of More Than Velocity, we take a deep dive into the exam process for the ArmCare App and cover some essential analytics that we pull from each test.
