Eliminate pain, prevent injury and optimise performance in baseball with Crossover Symmetry.

INCREASE VELOCITY AND PROTECT YOUR ARM

Baseball has very specific skill requirements that take years of repetition, training and coaching to master. However, before the sport specific movements of the arm can be mastered, the stability, mobility and motor control of the shoulder complex need to be addressed to form the foundation of shoulder function.

With a solid foundation of the shoulder these skilled movements can be optimised by allowing a more effective transfer of energy from the legs/core to the arm. This is vital if you are looking to prevent injury and increase velocity.

The Crossover Symmetry Shoulder System has been designed exactly for this reason, to provide a time efficient systemised approach to arm care that includes the training and equipment to develop the stability, mobility and motor control of the shoulder.

Learn more about how the Crossover Symmetry Shoulder System works to replace pain with performance.

“The single most important tool I use is the Crossover Symmetry System. Our pitchers love the advanced activation program and are able to maintain their velocity (most improve their velocity) throughout the course of the season. Equally as important, there is a significant improvement in our pitcher’s recovery time when doing the crossover workout after their outings. … I consider the Arizona Training Arsenal ™ the most sought after thrower’s training curriculum in all of baseball and Crossover Symmetry is the foundation of our arm care education.”
