Invented in 1965, pickleball has become an extremely popular sport. Individuals of all ages can play this exciting, fast-moving game. While pickleball is very enjoyable, it can unfortunately bring on some injuries.
In our offices, we often see patients suffering from ankle sprains, Achilles strains/tendinitis, and heel pain/plantar fasciitis as a result of playing pickleball. Warming up properly and stretching out prior to playing is essential to helping to prevent injuries.
Please watch our video explaining ways to help prevent injuries when playing pickleball:
