Arm Care

[chinamigarden]

I have a 10 yo DD that has been pitching for 9 months now and starting to get where she is being used more often in tournaments now. This weekend she threw her 1st full game (4 innings) and a total of about 8 innings throughout the day. She was pretty sore Sunday morning. Just muscle soreness, no joint pain.

What do you recommend for care after a full day of pitching? We are still figuring all of this out, but most of all want to do it the right way.

I hear there is life after softball and she might want to use that arm then too.

Sore, where?

Sore, where?

@chinamigarden this was a year and a half ago. Since then we have moved to IR from HE. Soreness from pitching in the shoulder and arm doesn't happen anymore. However, we did play our 1st tournament back this weekend and the kid is sore, but not from pitching. Will take a couple weeks to be back in tournament shape again.

Any suggestions to help with soreness from volleyball. DD always gets sore from serving. Always worries me with her pitching.

You might research band routines for volleyball. There is a good one in the video above.

I believe you may find that light stretching, an easy cool down and massage could be helpful.

Sore but in the shoulder area. They keep starting and stopping VB due to Covid.
