HOW IT STARTED
Latitude Arm Care was created during the offseason in the winter time by David Meder, DC, while acting as the strength and conditioning coach for the CT Bombers travel baseball organization. While spending countless weekend hours teaching speed and agility sessions, Dr. Meder observed hundreds of young athletes warm up and prepare to train. Most, if not all of these athletes, did not follow a specific plan, seeming to randomly move their arms and legs trying to remember what their coaches had them do in the past. It was very apparent that without a coach's instruction, most overhead athletes did not understand how to properly prepare their bodies, or their arms specifically, to keep them safe and avoid arm injuries. So, an extra “class” was added early Sunday mornings that was “optional” and open to any pitcher over the age of 14. The goal was to teach them a proper, scientifically backed, approach to train their arms to not only make them stronger and throw harder, but to keep them healthy. Only a few dedicated athletes showed up the first few Sundays - and of course my son, who wasn’t given an option. It didn’t take very long before eager eyes and ears began to gather listening in on the training sessions. Soon, a dedicated class was formed that was no longer optional. Soon after that, the winter training transitioned into a year long arm care program focusing on pre-throw and post-throw arm care and recovery, and velocity and strength development in the off season. Dr. Meder advanced his education becoming USA Baseball Coach certified and received an ArmCare Specialist certification from ArmCare.com, the developer of the ArmCare testing and training system. Today, Latitude Arm Care is offering advanced strength testing and training year round.
