Please post any favorite videos or links. (I have significant hip flexor and iliotibial band pain and really need to get on top of it!)

Check out Bob and Brad on youtube. They are physical therapists I discovered and I've learned a lot of tips to help with my chronic back issue. A little goofy at times but very informative, they cover lots of problem.

Is this documented somewhere? That these excercises will benefit pitchers specificallly? I just haven't seen that research.

I’ll ask around. I’d love to have decent research to back up a lot of what I teach. Icing after throwing always jumps out at me as a common practice with little to prove its benefit other than reducing pain.

Athlean-X has tons of good videos on you tube. You WILL need to do alot of viewing to find things that are applicable to your situation, including having some background in movement and training. But his videos are loaded with expert knowledge that has helped both DD and myself.

Many thanks to you and your family for that great video!

PS Love the dumbell set, it gets tiresome changing plates all the time!

Dumbells are the way to go unless you need heavy heavy lifting like back squats or deadlifts.
