BFR Baseball course @ IMG Academy
The future of baseball rehab and development is here
If you’re interested in hosting a public course or want a private course just for your team, shoot me a DM
On July 11, 2026, ORS is bringing their BFR Throwing Course to Columbia, MO - hosted at the University of Missouri in partnership with @unconquerablept
Here's what makes this course different from anything else out there:
→ The instructor, Dr. Tyler White DC, developed this entire approach from the ground up over 4 years of hands-on work with throwing athletes. This isn't theory. It's a refined clinical system.
→ The Delfi equipment has been specifically modified for throwing application - longer tubing for full arm extension, posterior-facing pneumatic ports so the connection point stays clear during the throwing motion, and extra velcro on the cuffs to prevent slippage during high-velocity movements. Two years of equipment evolution went into getting this right.
→ Evidence-based BFR protocols for in-season and off-season throwing programs
→ Arm care, return-to-throw, and performance applications
→ Hands-on application with the modified Delfi PTS setup
→ CEU credits

If you work with baseball, softball, or any overhead throwing athlete - this is the course that has been four years in the making.

A great reminder to little league baseball parents. Just because your kid isn’t in pain doesn’t mean they can pitch multiple games in a weekend or throw 90-110 pitches a game.
They’re still developing, don’t push them and mess up their future. Play where your coach cares about your future.

The Winter Meetings couldn’t have gone much better. Thank you to @PBSCCS for having me speak to the league’s strength staffs and to @PBATS for allowing us to showcase the new BFR Throwing System
New study looking at humeral head alignment compared to scap position shows that as ER increases, humeral head translation increases.
Joint centration and activation of scapular stabilizers in sequence with scap loading is the key to improving this.
It's not just mechanics, and it's not just mobility/stability/function; it's a combination of everything!

You have about 7 weeks left to get in and get right before the off-season.
Whether you’re trying to up your performance gains, fix up an injury, or a little bit of both, the time is now to get after it.
The schedule closes on Oct 17th, 2025 until the start of Spring Training.
When you see "back spasms" start popping up, you need first to figure out what structures are involved (muscle, disc, joint, etc.). The treatment depends on the structure, but the cause of this is more often an over-compression of the lumbar spine.
How does this happen? The pelvis dumps more naturally into anterior tilt due to many factors, but first we need to add length in the muscles creating that stabilization tension pulling us forward. The middle quad muscle (Rectus Femoris), Iliopsoas, and TFL (tensor fasciae latae) are more than likely short and tight as well as the lumbar erector group and QL (Quadratus Lumborum). If we can start to loosen these up with manual therapy, stretching, needling, etc, we can start down-regulating that stability tone.
From there, we need to strengthen the lower abdominal muscle group as well as some glute stabilizers. Some hamstring loading wouldn't hurt either.
The real fix once the body starts to adapt is to get the athlete to learn to rotate using more anterior oblique sling and less low back. We see this string of injuries occur when the front side internal oblique does the majority of the rotation which recruits some low back muscle tone and creates more lumbar extension strain. As the body fatigues, we see this movement pattern more prominently.
We fix the rotational point; we fix these injuries.
Hope this helps.

Saberseminar was a huge success! Thanks to everyone for listening and reaching out about the BFR Throwing System.
Hey @enosarris what’d you think of BFR throwing? (SOUND ON)
Saberseminar 2025 on deck this weekend.
HUGE baseball announcement with case studies and data showing things we’ve never seen before in baseball.
If you can make it happen, you might want to be in Chicago this weekend to see what’s going down.
