Did you know Pilates can improve your pickleball game?
All movement requires balance. When you play pickleball and other one-side dominant sports such as tennis or golf, you need good balance and activity to counteract the constant rotation of the sports.
Many Pilates movements focus on core strength. And a stronger core supports good balance. Pilates may be the answer whether you want to prevent injuries or just get better at your game.
Common Injuries from One-Side Dominant Sports
Tennis and pickleball require quick moves and changes in direction, which can often cause sprains or falls especially if you don’t have good core strength or balance. Due to the repetitive motion of serving and volleying the balls, both sports are also known for causing tennis or pickleball elbow.
Golf enthusiasts may experience foot or ankle injuries and back strains and golfer’s elbow, many caused by the repeated stress of swinging.

Here are some of the benefits athletes in one-side dominant sports can expect from Pilates:
