From another Dodgeball blog
The other day I came across another dodgeball blogger and I'll post a few things that she has posted to wet everyones appetite.
Her blog title is "Sore Arm".
This doesn’t happen to me very often, but I see a LOT of guys holding their upper throwing arms in agony sometimes during and after intense games. I’m sure you’ve all experienced this at some point or another.
I spoke with my chiropractor here in Toronto yesterday and asked her for some tips I could share with you about what to do when you get a sore arm, and how to prevent it from happening. This is what Doctor Barb had to say:
“Maintaining a healthy posture is the best way to prevent injury when throwing hard. Your arm and shoulder function best when the nerves in your neck and mid back are free of interference.
There are important steps that any athlete can take to help minimize the risk of injury. Always stretch before and after exercise. It is important to include “dynamic stretching” in your routine. These stretches should mimic activities involved in subsequent exercise.
