5 Movements to Get Your Arm Game-Ready Before Your Next Start

Your arm doesn’t need more ice.

It needs better movement.

Most high school pitchers spend all week throwing, lifting, and grinding through soreness...

Then wonder why their shoulder feels cooked by game day.

Before your next start, run through these 5 movements:

    1    Lat Unlock Stretch (Banded 1/2 Kneeling Lat Stretch)
    2    Overhead Mobility Reset (PVC Bench Thoracic Extension + Lat Stretch)
    3    Rotator Cuff Release (Soft Tissue Release of Internal & External Rotators)
    4    Pitcher’s Rotation Flow (World’s Greatest Stretch + Trunk Rotation)
    5    Gravity Spine Reset (Gravity Assisted Spinal Mobility)

Arm pain isn’t always an arm problem.

When your spine, trunk, and shoulders stop moving well, your arm pays the price.

Save this for your next start.

Share it with a pitcher whose arm is hanging on for dear life.

Because velocity is cool.

Being available every fifth day is cooler.

Relentless athletes don’t just train hard.

They recover with purpose.

Most athletes are chasing a date.

The best athletes are chasing benchmarks.

If you’re 12+ weeks post-op ACL, here’s what I’d rather see than another surgeon’s note:

1️⃣ Heel-Floating Split Squat Isometric
3-5 x 30-45 seconds/side

Front heel elevated.
Back heel floating.
Heavy load.

If you can’t own a deep split squat position under load, good luck owning a deceleration cut at full speed.
Build force.

Build tendon capacity.
Build confidence.

2️⃣ Single-Leg Box Drop → Stick
3 x 5 reps/side

Step off an 8-12” box.
Land.
Freeze.

Can you absorb force without your knee collapsing?
Most ACL injuries happen because athletes can’t control force.

Prove you can.

3️⃣ Rear-Foot Elevated Split Squat
4 x 6-8/side

Heavy.
Controlled.
Progressively overloaded weekly.

This is where “my leg feels strong” becomes measurable.

Load it.

Then load it again next week.

4️⃣ Pogos → Single-Leg Pogos
3 x 20 contacts bilateral
3 x 10-15 contacts single-leg

Your sport is a repeated jumping sport whether you realize it or not.

Elasticity matters.
Stiffness matters.

Hundreds of contacts matter.
Not just a few pretty jumps for Instagram.

5️⃣ Sub-Maximal Sprint Progressions
10 x 20m @ 70-80% effort
Then...
8 x 30m @ 80-85%
Then...
6 x 40m @ 85-90%

If you haven’t rebuilt exposure to speed, you haven’t rebuilt exposure to sport.
Period.

⚠️ Here’s the truth nobody wants to hear:
“Cleared to play” is a medical milestone.

These are performance milestones.

One gets you back on the field.

The other keeps you there.

Save this for the athlete who’s trying to come back BETTER than before.

We’re in the business of investing in youth athletes.

Our youth are the future of athletics, and their success starts with early commitment to development and physical preparedness. Not only to perform better, but also to reduce risk of injury as that young athlete ages up.

Owen Stover, photographed above, is a hockey player and one of your youngest competitive athletes. He shows up, he does the work, he asks the questions and we couldn’t be happier to have a kid like him in our facility, working as hard as he does.

And of course, the one and only, .dpt guiding the program. Our doctors and coaches are the guides, but the athlete drives the ship.. There’s no question about that with Owen.

Less than 0.01% of the global population can sprint at 22 mph..

That’s not just a number on paper. That’s proof that Relentless athletes, like Jules, have what it takes to be world elites.

The mountain is high. The climb is treacherous, but the summit is yours, if you work for it.

Be Legendary.
Be Relentless.

Congratulations on an incredible freshman season, Jules. Keep climbing.. We’re behind you.

Rehab isn’t just sets, reps, and timelines.
 It’s the early mornings, frustrating setbacks, small wins, and the people beside you through all of it.

One of the most overlooked parts of recovery? The relationship between the athlete and therapist. You’re not going through this alone. The best rehab happens when there’s trust, communication, accountability… and honestly, some laughter along the way too.

Because yes — rehab is hard.
 There are days where progress feels slow. Days where confidence drops. Days where you question if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.

But having fun during the process matters.
 It keeps you engaged. It keeps you showing up. And it reminds you that you’re more than just an injury.

The goal isn’t just to get you back.
 It’s to help you enjoy the process, build confidence again, and come out stronger physically and mentally on the other side. 💪

We live in a world obsessed with immediate results.

Everyone wants the harvest.

Few are willing to plant.

The scholarship.
The successful business.
The strong body.
The healthy marriage.
The championship season.

None of them happen overnight.

They’re the result of thousands of small decisions made long before anyone notices.

The workout nobody saw.
The early morning alarm.
The extra rep.
The difficult conversation.
The discipline to stay the course when results weren’t showing up yet.

That’s what planting the tree looks like.

And one day, years from now, people will look at what you’ve built and call you lucky.

They won’t see the seeds.

They’ll only see the shade.

Keep planting. Your future self is counting on it.

At some point in the process, rehab has to become unpredictable.
 Because sport is unpredictable.

That’s where “chaos” drills come in. These reactive, unplanned movement patterns force the body to adapt in real time — exactly what happens when you cut, decelerate, sprint, or react during competition.

Why they matter post-op ACL: • Improves proprioception and body awareness • Trains force absorption through the hamstrings and glutes • Reduces excessive ground contact times • Reinforces cleaner running and change of direction mechanics • Builds strength + muscular endurance under fatigue • Challenges confidence and reaction speed in sport-specific positions

Anyone can move when the environment is controlled. The real goal of ACL rehab is being able to own movement when the environment ISN’T.

That’s how athletes stop “thinking” about the knee… and start trusting it again.

Some athletes hear instruction.
 Others absorb it, process it, and execute it immediately.

That’s a different level.

The ability to watch a movement once and then replicate it with precision is a skill built through years of intentional training, focus, and attention to detail. The athletes that reach the next level aren’t just stronger or faster — they’re more aware of their body, their positioning, their timing, and their ex*****on.

Every rep matters. Every angle matters. Every detail matters.

The best athletes don’t just “go through drills.” They lock in, understand the purpose behind the movement, and execute with intent.

That’s how performance improves.
 That’s how movement becomes automatic.

That’s how you separate yourself from everyone else in the room.

5 MOVEMENTS YOU CAN DO IMMEDIATELY POST-ACL SURGERY 👇

A lot of athletes think rehab after ACL surgery means laying around and waiting to heal. The reality? Early movement done the RIGHT way is one of the biggest keys to getting your strength, confidence, and athleticism back.

Here are 5 exercises we implement early post-op to restore strength, stability, and overall function:

1️⃣ Aerodyne Bike → Improve blood flow, reduce stiffness, and begin restoring knee ROM without excessive joint stress.

2️⃣ Single Leg Squat to Box → Rebuild single-leg control, quad strength, and confidence loading the surgical leg.

3️⃣ Single Leg Banded Abduction → Strengthen the glute med and hip stabilizers to improve knee positioning and control.

4️⃣ Incline Dumbbell Press → ACL rehab doesn’t mean stop training. Keeping the upper body strong helps maintain overall athleticism and mindset throughout recovery.

5️⃣ Seated Anti-Rotation Press → Core stability is huge post-op. Learning to resist rotation helps improve trunk control and lower body force transfer when returning to sport.
ACL rehab is more than just “healing the knee.” It’s rebuilding the athlete from the ground up. 💥
Save this for later or send it to an athlete going through ACL rehab. 👊
