Reducing Injury Risk in Overhead Athletes: Insights from Jason Colleran on Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast
In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, host Dan sits down with Jason Colleran, a seasoned expert in athlete development and biomechanics, to dive deep into injuries in overhead athletes, with a particular focus on baseball. Jason, the creator of the Kinetic Arm, shares his extensive knowledge on preventing injuries that frequently plague overhead athletes, offering valuable strategies to minimize risk and enhance performance.
A Personal Journey to Innovation
With over 20 years of experience in biomechanics and athlete development, Jason’s career took a personal turn when overuse injuries ended his own baseball career. This first-hand experience with injury led him to develop the Kinetic Arm, an innovative solution designed to combat the growing arm injury epidemic in sports. Jason’s passion for helping athletes and active individuals led him to create a product that would protect, perform, recover, and prevent injuries, particularly in high-risk sports like baseball.
Jason’s expertise doesn’t just stem from his own career; as a biomechanics consultant, he assesses athletes for neuromuscular and musculoskeletal dysfunction to optimize performance and minimize injury. His deep understanding of anatomical function has led him to work with world-class professional athletes in MLB, NFL, NBA, UFC, ATP, and more.
Jason’s mission is clear: “My goal is to offer the highest level of dynamic arm care to help aid in protection, performance, recovery, and prevention.” Through the Kinetic Arm, he aims to enhance overall arm health so that athletes can continue doing what they love without the constant threat of injury.
Addressing the Overhead Athlete Epidemic
Overhead athletes, especially those in sports like baseball, are particularly vulnerable to overuse injuries. These injuries often stem from repetitive motion, improper mechanics, and excessive stress on the arm. Jason explains how the Kinetic Arm is designed to reduce dynamic arm stress, helping athletes protect their elbows and shoulders while maintaining full range of motion. By optimizing mechanics and offering activated support, the Kinetic Arm empowers athletes to push past their limits while minimizing the risk of injury.
Jason’s vast experience in working with athletes across various sports provides him with a unique perspective on the biomechanics involved in overhead motions. He emphasizes the importance of functional movement patterns and how subtle adjustments to mechanics can drastically reduce the likelihood of injury.
Solutions for Every Athlete
The Kinetic Arm is more than just a piece of equipment—it's a comprehensive solution that offers proactive protection. Jason’s approach centers on not just recovery, but also prevention. He believes that arm care should be a part of every athlete’s routine, no matter their level or sport. The Kinetic Arm’s multi-patented MuscleWeb® technology provides dynamic support to both the shoulder and elbow, enhancing arm stability and minimizing fatigue without restricting movement.
Jason’s goal is to bring this next-generation arm care technology to athletes across the globe, helping them stay active and injury-free for longer. Whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, his message is clear: taking care of your arm should be a priority, and the Kinetic Arm is here to help you do that.
