For many baseball and overhead athletes, elbow or shoulder pain can seem like it came out of nowhere. The instinct is often to blame the arm itself—but the real issue is usually much deeper. Quite literally.
At Fuse Sports Performance and Princeton Sports and Family Medicine, P.C., our professionals specialize in sports medicine services, including baseball evaluations to assess your risk for injury and assist in your performance goals. In this blog, we explore how weaknesses or imbalances in the core, hips, or scapular stabilizers often lead to arm pain—and why a full-body kinetic chain assessment is key to lasting recovery and performance.
