Pickleball is becoming increasingly popular and with that, injuries are also on the rise. Physical Therapy advanced training permits you to return safely and quickly as possible to sport.

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, and with its rise in popularity, injuries related to the game have also become more common. At K2 Sports Therapy in Mooresville, North Carolina, our team specializes in treating pickleball players of all levels, from beginners to seasoned athletes. With over 4,000 square feet of space equipped for rehabilitative exercise, we provide the expertise and resources you need to regain functional movement and get back on the court safely.
Common Pickleball Injuries
While pickleball is fun and easy for most people to learn, it requires quick changes in movement and repetitive motions that put stress on soft tissues and joints. Some of the most common injuries we see include:
- Ankle sprains from sudden pivots or slips
- Knee pain due to twisting or overuse
- Shoulder injuries such as rotator cuff strains or tendinitis from swinging the paddle
- Elbow pain (similar to “tennis elbow”) from repetitive hitting
- Lower back strain from bending, lunging, and reaching
