Treating Pickleball - Tennis Injuries
Pickleball is a rapidly growing sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It's played with a paddle and a plastic ball on a court that's about a third of the size of a tennis court. Because of its popularity, many players are picking up the game without realizing the physical demands it can place on the body. This can lead to injuries, particularly in areas such as the shoulder, elbow, and knee. That's why physical therapy is so important for pickleball players.
How Physical Therapy Helps Your Pickleball Game
Physical therapy at any Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists clinic, can help pickleball players prepare their bodies for the physical demands of the sport. It can also help prevent injuries by improving flexibility, strength, and range of motion. For example, a physical therapist can design a program that focuses on strengthening the muscles used in pickleball, such as the shoulders, arms, and legs. They can also work on improving the player's balance and coordination, which can reduce the risk of falls and other accidents on the court.
