Pickleball Upper Body Warm-Up

4 Essential Moves to Loosen Up and Play Strong – Your Best Pickleball Upper Body Warm-Up

Just finished the video? Then you’re already one step closer to feeling more mobile, powerful, and pain-free on the pickleball court. These four upper body warm-up moves are quick, effective, and perfect for prepping your shoulders, spine, and core before a match.

Dr. Haley walks you through:

• Lat Door Stretch to open up the shoulders and lats
• Shoulder Windmills to get those rotator cuffs fired up
• T-Spine Opener to improve mobility through your upper back
• World’s Greatest Stretch to tie it all together and elevate your movement

Each move targets common areas of tightness and restriction we see in pickleball players — especially those prone to shoulder soreness, stiff backs, or limited reach. When done consistently, this warm-up helps you swing more freely, move with better posture, and react faster on the court.

It only takes a few minutes, but the payoff can be huge. Whether you’re dinking, volleying, or serving up power shots, your body will thank you.

Take 5 minutes before your next match and get your upper body ready 2 perform, with this Pickleball Upper Body Warm-up ! Good luck.
