Stay Fit and Injury-Free with Spring Physiotherapy
This Week's Tip: Protecting Your Lower Back for Pickleball Players
A strong, flexible back helps prevent strain during play. Try these exercises:
Cat-Cow Stretch: On your hands and knees, arch your back upward (Cat) and then lower it while lifting your head and tailbone (Cow). Repeat 10 times.
Bird Dog: On hands and knees, extend one arm and the opposite leg, keeping your back stable. Hold for 5 seconds, then switch sides. Repeat 10 times per side. (Watch Maggie's demonstration here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnA7JsTo8xw)
If you’re experiencing back pain, Spring Physiotherapy offers professional care to keep you playing comfortably. Call 902-453-1525 extension 2 or email admin@springphysio.ca to book a consultation.
