Stay Fit and Injury-Free with Spring Physiotherapy!

This Week’s Tip: Enhancing Core Control for Pickleball Players

A stable core supports balance and efficient court movement. Try these:

Dead Bug: Lie on your back with arms and legs in the air. Lower opposite arm and leg slowly, return to start, then switch. Do 10 reps per side.

Wall Lean Holds: Stand with your back against a wall, knees slightly bent, core tight. Hold for 20 seconds. Repeat 3 times.

SPECIAL OFFER FOR CROSS COURT MEMBERS

Don’t miss out! Stop by the front desk before September 30th, while supplies last, to claim your FREE voucher for an exclusive 15-minute screening with one of our physiotherapy team members.

We’ll assess your balance, strength, and mobility to help reduce the chances of an injury on the court.
