These are Essential to Get Your Back Pickleball-Readyšš¼
As a Physical Therapist, I canāt stress this enough ā a good warm-up is one of the easiest ways to reduce injury risk. But rememberā¦
Your warm-up should be specific to you, not a generic routine you found on Google.
If your back tends to feel tight or achy, prepping for all the bending, rotating, and reaching youāll do on the court is a game-changer.
Here are three of my go-to movements:
āŖļø Lunge + Rotation
āŖļø Hamstring Sweeps
āŖļø Squat + Overhead Reach
Hit 8ā12 reps of each before you play and feel the difference in how smoothly you move.
Dealt with back stiffness before or after a match?
