Insider’s Updates

This month’s Insiders webinar is a thorough step by step process of how I assess overhead mobility.  I’ve written a lot in the past about overhead mobility.  It makes up a huge part of my treatment for both treatment, prevention and performance.  This will be part of an in depth 3 part webinar series of how I assess and treat overhead mobility restrictions from A to Z.

  • Understand why overhead mobility is important
  • How limited mobility creates subpar performance and how mobility restrictions can potentially lead to injury
  • Which joints and muscles are involved with overhead mobility restrictions
  • How to individually assess each area
