DD has been going to speed and agility training for several weeks. The instructors there also provide rehab and therapy for sports related injuries. They said that certain static stretches can do more harm for the shoulder than good and they prefer dynamic stretches.
They said this static stretch specifically is not good for a pitchers shoulder:
They said to replace most of the static shoulder stretches with dynamic variations of arm circles:
small forward arm circles
small backward arm circles
large forward arm circles
large backward arm circles
vary hand positions during the arm circles, finger tips up, finger tips down.
Has anyone else been advised against this type or other types of static stretches?
