Did you know that pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America? The number of people playing pickleball has grown by 159% over three years to 8.9 million!! It’s gaining popularity because it’s easy to play, low impact, and appeals to a wide range of people, from young children to senior citizens. As with any sport, safety is important! See what Dr. Chad Hosemann had to say about this recent craze! “Some of the common injuries we see among picklers include tendinitis, fractures, sprains, and tears. The reasons for injury typically include overuse of a particular body part, improper technique, improper equipment, or lack of a proper warm up.” “Being aware of these potential injuries and preparing well to stay healthy is the best approach,” said Hosemann. “Always take a little time to stretch and warm up your muscles before playing, especially the calf muscles, hamstrings, quads, and shoulders.“ Don’t let the threat of potential injuries rain on your pickleball parade! However, if you’re in pain while playing or afterwards, it might be time to seek medical attention. The sooner you get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, the sooner you can get back to the courts! #nationalpickleballday #pickleballinjury #capitalortho #movebetterlivebetter Chad Hosemann MD, CIME

They say when you work in niche media like I do, you should avoid "bringing politics into things." I disagree, particularly because I didn't use my platform to share my own views, I reported a thematic line between pickleball and two of the most famous people on the planet. If you're interested in America's fastest-growing sport, I hope you'll give it a read:

Another tip is to move the length of a pickleball court for about five minutes, doing a “series of moves that help prepare your body for what it'll need to do in your upcoming games.” Learn more about the First Dink Foundation and how our programs set youth participants up for success: https://bit.ly/3ZQdAbC #pickleball #pickleballislife #sportsnews #injuries
