In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, we provided a self test to measure your shoulder health and a strength workout. We now cover stability training, the final piece of the puzzle for building strong and mobile shoulders.
To understand the concept of stability, imagine an anchor on a boat. An anchored boat can float around on the surface of the water, but it won't completely drift away. Think of the shoulder’s mobility (range of motion, tissue flexibility and joint movement) as the length of your anchor line—the longer the line, the more you can drift before the current carries you away. Stability is the weight of your anchor—the heavier the anchor, the stronger the current you can withstand.
You want to maximize joint range of motion to increase skill execution for throwing and swinging, but you are limited by what you can successfully stabilize. If you are forced outside your zone of control, your performance will decrease and your risk of injury will increase.
