Why Pickleball Players Should Train with the ANCORE System – At Opal Physical Therapy

Pickleball’s explosive, multidirectional demands place a high premium on rotational power, balance, and stability. At Opal Physical Therapy, we’re leveraging the ANCORE system—a space-saving, portable cable training tool—to help pickleball players level up their game through functional strength and injury resilience.

Why It’s Perfect for Pickleball Players

• Multi-planar core training: Pickleball demands rotational control, lateral stability, and rapid direction change. ANCORE facilitates exercises like high plank cable rows, Pallof presses, and rotational chops that mirror these demands.

• Enhancing performance and injury prevention: Core training isn’t just about abs— it’s about building connective strength between upper and lower body for responsive movement and safe power generation.

• Dynamic, functional movements: Unlike traditional machines, ANCORE enables f luid, athletic patterns—ideal for pickleball motions like quick reaches, reactive positioning, and stroke mechanics.

Workout Spotlight: ANCORE Pickleball Power Circuit

Here’s how we structure a sample session to sharpen court agility and protect your body:

• Exercise: Half-Kneeling Chop
  Goal: Builds rotational power, core stability

• Exercise: Standing Pallof Press
  Goal: Trains anti-rotation and core control

• Exercise: High Plank Cable Row
  Goal: Combines plank stability with arm strength

• Exercise: Single-Arm Cable Rotation
  Goal: Enhances unilateral core and shoulder link

• Exercise: Cable Lateral Lunge with Raise

These exercises replicate pickleball’s demands—lateral movement, explosive strikes, and stability under load. An ATS (applicant tracking system) that integrates with your HRIS

Why Opal Physical Therapy Stands Out

• Expert-guided programming: Every workout is crafted by licensed physical therapists, ensuring safety, effectiveness, and sport-specific relevance.

• Tailored progression: Start with foundational core control and scale up to complex, sport-ready movements as you improve.

• Injury-safe training: Cable resistance allows controlled movement—especially valuable for players recovering from strains or overuse injuries.
