TRAINING

ArmoredHeat is a comprehensive arm care and performance system designed specifically for baseball players. Created by former Los Angeles Dodgers physical therapist Ryan Yoshida, it delivers a structured, professional-grade program that strengthens the arm, improves shoulder and scapular mobility, and accelerates recovery. ArmoredHeat is delivered through a mobile app, offering routines tailored to each athlete’s throwing schedule and adapting every two weeks to ensure consistent progress without plateaus.

Key highlights:

  • Adaptive programming: Workouts adjust every two weeks to continue building strength, mobility, and recovery capacity.

  • Throwing schedule alignment: Routines match an athlete’s specific throwing load (light, medium, heavy, or off-day), providing appropriate care for every day of the week.

  • Professional-level design: Developed by a former MLB physical therapist and used by MLB players, college programs, and youth athletes.

  • All-in-one mobile app: Features four modules—Pre-Throw Activation, Full Armor (heavy-load), Scap Emphasis (medium days), and Recovery/Mobility—for seamless use at home or in team settings.

  • Progress tracking: Logs workouts, monitors personal records, and displays improvement over time.

ArmoredHeat helps pitchers and position players protect their arm, improve performance, and stay healthy throughout the season and offseason.
