The Importance of a Good Warm-Up

A good warm-up can be an absolute magnifier in the sense that players that are consistent with their routine and do them on a regular basis really derive so much benefit. The first thing is, you want to transiently reduce bad tone and do some activation to ensure that you're in the appropriate alignment. Think upstream. Look for things that don't make sense. Chase dysfunctional, non-painful patterns first and find and address areas where passive range of motion far exceeds active range of motion.
