Debate exists concerning the use of open versus closed-chain exercises in the rehabilitation of overhead athletes. Standing Shoulder Mobilization for the Overhead Athlete reviews standing-shoulder mobilization techniques that incorporate open and closed-chain principles, and that are specific to the needs of overhead athletes. The DVD details the common biomechanical adaptations that occur in injured overhead athletes and the current literature for rehabilitation, as well as the philosophy behind standing-shoulder mobilization. The lab portion of the DVD features a demonstration of standing shoulder-mobilization techniques that incorporate the lower extremity, trunk, scapula, and glenohumeral joint.
