Why are Many People Injuring Themselves Playing Pickleball?

This is a great question. Pickleball is gaining popularity and many people are getting into the sport. It attracts people of all ages and fitness levels as it is the type of sport that can be played at different competitive levels. Pickleball is attracting people that are sedentary to get up and start playing. Of course, this is positive in that pickleball is getting people motivated to exercise but it also leads to more injury in people that are not physically equipped to start playing. In addition, pickleball involves going from standing relatively still to quick reactionary motions to get to the ball fast. This has led to a lot of achilles tendon ruptures, ankle sprains, and ankle fractures. If you want to get involved in pickleball, to avoid injury you want to make sure you warm up and stretch after play. In addition to that, you want to work on your overall strength and cardio fitness off the court to help prevent injury on the court.

A kettlebell offers versatility with exercise. They have gained popularity in gyms and physical therapy clinics in the past 5 years. Harbor Physical Therapy has a set of kettlebells!

A kettlebell mimics real-life movements which helps to create function exercises to build strength and muscle endurance. Some examples are a carry, squat, and hip hinge. It is idea for home or PT clinics as it requires limited space. It is great to improve mobility as it encourages a controlled range of motion. In physical therapy, we commonly use kettleballs for patients with lower back pain or shoulder injuries.

Do you use kettlebells in your workout?

You might have seen stability balls at the gym and thought, "what can I use this for?" Well, stability balls are a great tool to use for a home or gym workout! You can use a stability ball to work on core strengthening, balance/stability, and flexibility. Physical Therapist often use stability balls to help their patients reach their rehabilitation goals. Below, you will find some examples of stability ball exercises:
1. Core strengthening- performing bridges and planks using the stability ball. Sitting on a therapy ball performing marches.
2. Balance and stability- performing a lunge with your back leg on the ball.
3. Flexibility- performing a hamstring stretch by lying down and placing your leg with knee straight on the ball.

Try incorporating a stability ball into your workout to vary your exercises to increase the challenge.

Everyone loves to wear heels but did you ever think about what it does to your calves? Wearing high heels can cause calf tightness because your ankle is constantly in a plantar flexed position (toes pointing downward). This position increases the contraction of the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus). Over time, wearing high heels can shorten these muscles which would lead to tightness of the calf muscles and potentially pain/muscle strain.

No need to worry! Physical therapy can help! Physical Therapy helps by providing relief through stretching, strengthening exercises, manual therapy, modalities, footwear education, and postural assessment. If this sounds like you, please get in touch with us so we can help you get rid of that calf pain!

Squats are one of the most fundamental exercises for building strength and improving mobility. Squats target the core and lower body muscles, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. These muscles are essential for daily movements like walking, standing, negotiating stairs, and bending over. Strengthening these muscles helps to prevent future injury and improves your overall balance and stability.

You can increase the challenge of your squat by adding a weight, using an increase range of motion, performing it on a balance device, or performing different types of squats by changing your positioning.

This exercise is very versatile and can be performed at any age and any fitness level. If you would like to learn more about what type of squat is best for you, feel free to contact Harbor PT to lean more!
