For baseball players, softball players, golfers, basketball players, and tennis players, limited neck mobility can hinder your game - take a look.

The Neck Is The Hidden Culprit?

88 professional pitchers were evaluated during spring training for neck range of motion, then tracked over a full season. Researchers wanted to know: can limited neck mobility predict arm injuries? The answer was a loud yes—specifically in rotation.

📈 Key Findings

✅ Every 1° increase in asymmetry between dominant and non-dominant neck rotation increased injury risk 4x.

✅ Injured pitchers had a -5° difference in neck rotation vs -1° in uninjured pitchers.

✅ Dominant-side rotation averaged 74° in injured vs 78° in uninjured pitchers.

✅ The cervical flexion-rotation test (CFRT) showed no predictive value.

✅ Neither lateral flexion nor flexion/extension range of motion were associated with injury.

✅ Arm injury prevalence was 23%, with a combined rate of 1.3 per 1000 exposure days.

✅ Shoulder IR was slightly lower in injured pitchers—but neck asymmetry was the clearest prognostic factor.

Synapsis

We talk a lot about shoulder IR deficits, elbow
torque, pitch counts, and even hip mobility—but we rarely look up. This study makes it clear: if a pitcher’s neck can’t rotate equally, it may throw off gaze control, timing, and trunk sequencing, leading to compensations elsewhere.

Skelly here has got his left shoulder in a very vulnerable position for a rotator cuff injury. Don’t be like Skelly. When you rise from the dead keep the arm close to the body like his right arm. Since he’s already dead and only bones I guess it’s a moot point 💀
