Hot Topic: Are You Missing Neural Tension in Your Throwers? Learn How to Catch It
Neural tension can be the hidden limiter in throwing athletes — contributing to velocity loss, mechanical breakdowns, and those stubborn shoulder or elbow symptoms that never seem to improve with traditional strengthening alone.
To help you sharpen your evaluation skills and clinical reasoning, we’re hosting a free live webinar with two specialists in overhead athlete rehabilitation: Dr. Brian Duncan and Dr. Katherine Anderson.
This session will break down how to confidently identify neural tension patterns in throwers — and how to apply targeted manual therapy and movement interventions that restore mobility, mechanics, and performance.
You’ll walk away with:
- Key clinical signs of neural tension specific to throwing athletes
- How to differentiate nerve sensitivity from soft-tissue restriction
- Manual therapy strategies for the median, radial, and ulnar nerves
- How neural tension influences throwing mechanics and the kinetic chain
- Practical case examples to help you apply the concepts immediately
- Live Q&A to tackle your toughest cases
Whether you work with baseball players, softball athletes, or any overhead sport population, this webinar will elevate your assessment and give you tools you can use the next day in clinic.
