 We discuss an important step of playing pickleball, which will improve your game: dynamic stretching - the process of stretching the body with movement.  There are probably a lot of us out there that do not take advantage of this step because we are so excited to start playing, but it really is important to do this before you get on that court.  It has been shown in recent studies that dynamic stretching is the perfect type of stretching to do before any sports activity as it aids in getting the muscles ready for firing during the activity.  It actually can improve your performance!  So if you want to win more, it’s time to incorporate stretching into your routine!  

 We discuss the best way to stretch after you play: static stretching - the process of stretching the body without momentum.  Static stretching is most valuable for preventing future injuries as your muscles are cooling down from your workout.
