Are You Still Playing With Pain?
Here's what most Pickleball players don't know that's keeping them from playing better and longer.
The Key to Improving Your Game
Correcting muscle imbalances, increasing mobility, and developing stronger stabilizing muscles is key to improving your game and preventing injury. You can buy the best racket and practice seven days a week, but if your muscles are imbalanced, you will never reach your full potential on the court.
Get your muscles working as they should and everything else falls into place.
Improve Your Consistency
Are you a hit or miss player? A healthy range of motion can help perfect your swing, improve accuracy and in turn improve your consistency. Stretching can also help develop better balance, which in turn will boost your confidence and performance out on the court.
Prevent Injury
What do you do off the court to ensure you don't strain anything on the court? Strength and stability training is key in protecting you from injury and will prepare you to play your best.
Play Pain Free
Everything in the body is connected, and as pickleball players we demand a lot from our muscles, and joints. Stretching not only combats adaptive muscle shortening, but also keeps connections strong, treating and preventing injury, improving functionality and longevity.
The Root of the Problem isn’t what you think…
Basically, if you don’t use it—you lose it.
That’s because your muscles adapt to whatever you use them for.
Let’s take your job as an example:
If you sit all day at a desk, that's a position that actually engages your hip muscles. However, you’re not using their FULL range of motion. After 8 hours a day of this position, your muscles get used to being engaged only part way and that limited range of motion becomes your norm.
Scientifically, what has happened is that your muscles have shortened to the length at which they are being habitually used.
When cycling, your muscles also don’t use their full range of motion. Pedaling loads the same muscle groups repetitively to a shorter range of motion which causes your muscle fibers to shorten to where they are being used.
If you’re suffering from:
❌ Tight hamstrings
❌ Tight hip flexors
❌ Sore quads
❌ Knee pain
❌ Back pain
It’s all because of the most important muscle in your body (that you’ve probably never heard of)
It’s called the psoas (pronounced so-as). It’s the muscle that connects the lower body to the upper body and it’s used in almost every single movement you make.
The psoas creates a neutral pelvic alignment which stabilizes the hips while supporting your lower back and core. But when the psoas is the victim of Muscle Adaptive Shortening, there are serious consequences in almost every part of your body, showing up as a pelvic tilt.
Fix The Root of the Issue
-
Increase your range of motion and develop greater hip, wrist, and shoulder mobility. This means more power and faster reaction time.
-
Eliminate upper and lower back pain so you never have to miss another game with friends.
-
Accelerate recovery and feel better day-to-day, both on and off the court.
-
Enjoy playing pickleball again!
Here's the truth:
Most people don’t realize that the cause of their problems is tight or shortened muscles. The impact tight muscles have on the whole body never occurs to us until we start to experience the symptoms. This can show up as a nagging injury, or in poor posture caused by upper and/or lower crossed syndrome.
Shortened muscles and the resulting limited range of motion in the joints affects nearly everybody, but few realize they impact every aspect of the whole body. Diagnosing adaptive shortening can be tricky. Chances are, you won’t discover the problem until it has already limited your range of motion. The good thing is that it CAN be reversed.
How to unlock your full potential—without wasting your time
Knowing you have adaptive shortening in the muscles is one thing. Knowing how to take steps to reverse it is another challenge altogether.
Most of us were taught that stretching for a couple minutes before exercise would help loosen the muscles and prevent injury, but this is not the case. Holding a static stretch for 10 seconds will do nothing to lengthen the muscle, and barely scratches the surface of what needs to happen in the structure of the muscle.
Life is busy, so for most of us the idea of stretching for an hour every day may be an unrealistic goal. That’s where we come in.
Our stretching program has been designed to make the most of your time, targeting problem areas in a specific sequence to attack muscles from a variety of angles. Muscles have to be unpacked and balanced in a particular way to have the desired result.
It is a combination of practices maintained over time that will help your muscles lengthen and sustain a healthy range of motion, especially as you age.
We take all the unknowns out of your stretching routine—and replace them with a program that will keep you on track.
And it’s all accessible to you 24/7 with easy-to-follow, no-nonsense routines that track your progress over time.
It’s as easy as:
- Click play
- Follow along
- You’re done!
Like having a physiotherapist in your pocket 24/7— but a lot less expensive.
To lengthen your muscles properly, you need to stretch them in the right order. Concentrating on one muscle before the other can actually make those muscle imbalances worse, rather than better.
Even though you might know many of the stretches in our program, with our guided instructions, created by certified professionals, you never have to worry that:
- You’re doing them in the wrong order
- You’re doing them for the wrong amount of time
- You’re doing too much
- Or doing too little
Our program was designed specifically for pickleball, so you can just click play and follow along knowing what you're doing will improve your game.
