This Week’s Tip: Strengthening Your Calves for Pickleball Players
Strong calves support explosive movements and reduce strain on your knees and ankles. Try these exercises:
Calf Raises: Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Rise onto your toes slowly, hold for 1 second, then lower back down. Do 15 repetitions.
Seated Toe Lifts: While seated, lift your toes off the floor while keeping your heels planted. Hold for 2 seconds, lower, and repeat 15 times.
Playing in the Atlantic Pickleball Championships this weekend? Massage therapy can help ease sore muscles, speed up healing, and keep you feeling your best after all those matches. Book your spot now so you’re set for post-tournament care!
Remember: it's not just about the points you win, but the fun you ahve along the way. Paddle up and play on!
