Can Physical Therapy Help my Pickleball game?
Pickleball is a fun and fast paced game that is gaining popularity in Okotoks. The sport is a great way to get the heart pumping and the muscles moving.
Many times in our physical therapy clinic, we see injuries that arise from Pickleball to the calf muscle, hip, and shoulder. The quick side to side steps, lunges, and shoulder movements of Pickleball can lead to overuse or new injuries to muscles, ligaments, or joints.
If you are experiencing any pain or stiffness during or after your Pickleball match, a MOMENTUM physiotherapist can teach you about your pain, how to fix it, and then how to prevent it from reoccurring. Proper strengthening and stretching exercises, as well as some hands on therapy, can have you back at the top of your Pickleball game in no time.
If you are having any difficulty after playing Pickleball, call MOMENTUM Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab in Okotoks today at 403-982-5600.
