I was hit in the eye with a ball close to the kitchen line, retina detachment, had surgery to re attach developed a traumatic cataract causing distortion of vision. Ten months later had second surgery, lens replacement, am now on the mend.
This is why I always wear sunglasses even playing indoors (geçmiş olsun as they say in Turkiye)
Still waiting for you to do a video on heavy weightlifting for elders. Risk-Reward. Thanks.
Great video! Everyone should watch this. You guys are awesome!
Thank you for another enlightening video. You guys are great keep up the great work for all of us.!!!
Excellent presentation !!!
Great video docs! Exacerbation = Exasperation! Bahaha. No really, I loooooove playing pickleball (PB) and make sure I give myself 20 minutes to stretch before I go on court. Particularly my Achilles tendons. Many people fall when running backwards to reach a ball that’s gone over the head. Unless you have good agility just let that shot go - it isn’t worth falling. Definitely invest in court shoes. These are designed for the types of movement specific to volleyball, badminton, pickleball and tennis.
After playing pickleball for a year I suffered the worst injury of my 58 years. I tore my Achilles tendon. No surgery just months in a walking boot. Three years later calf is still smaller that the non injured side
That happens all to frequently
I had a partial Achilles rupture going up some steps. No surgery and after three years I'm pretty functional. Definitely some muscle tone gone that won't come back. Just started Pickleball 6 days ago. Seems like it will be a fantastic overall healthful and fun activity. Very nice to get the docs advice.
Seniors golfer Bernhard Langer tore his achilles playing pickleball and will miss the Masters.
I tore mine playing soccer I was 17 years old. Could happen in any sport.
@@nvan78 wowwwww
Great video!!
This is so timely. Had RTKA 14 months ago and LTKA 10 months ago. My orthopedic surgeon gave me the ok to play. Started a 6 wk class 2 wks ago. Ache like crazy all over after class b/c you use many different muscles but it doesn’t last. Just so excited that I can run a little since my surgeries. Just trying to keep ball in play without hurting myself. Being too competitive will lead to injuries so just trying to enjoy my new knees.
Very good! 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Would love to see a video on Fibromyalgia and any updated data on what they think causes it and what improves it.
Excellent!
I played what we called paddle ball which is like pickleball when I was 10 yrs old at school. We used a large paddle on a tennis court. I am 80yrs old.
"There's no flip-flops in picklebaaaaall !!!!"
Great Video
Excellent advice. 66yo been playing 2 years, when I first started my mind said I was 25 yo again, Big wake-up call after a few trip slip falls, and how long it took to fully recover. Spent time watching Phys.therapy videos for recovery. Since then I do all the things you mentioned and it’s made a world of difference. Do you know CPR? Over my dead body😂
Great video! My pickleball injuries thus far are a torn labrum (but I got the point!lol) and currently a plantar plate torn in second toe (GRRR).
Around here in Texas, we mostly do pickle ball inside on wood floors. With the proper shoes, I would go further and say use racquetball shoes. Not running shoes. I know so many people that have slipped on wood floors with regular tennis shoes. The gum sole racquetball shoes are the best!
same 80s a school.my late dad worked ar had wood pickleball painted courts they had private rqball courts wood so had same shoes more grip.than tradiional tennis havent played current pickle friends do footwear first thing have to look into
Stress fracture 3rd & 4th metatarsal. I walked on it (albeit painfully) for 2 months as repeated xrays didn’t show it. I had an MRI to confirm. Boot and a bone stimulator for months afterwards.
The hard lesson: YOU NEED PICKLEBALL SHOES. The support on the dorsal part of the foot is similar to a volleyball shoe. Tennis/regular court shoes are insufficient. They have outdoor and indoor pickleball shoes.
Those Figs uniforms look really good on both of you. Tha KS for great videos.
Great advice, Docs. Getting proper instruction is the key to avoiding tennis elbow and overuse injuries. Proper technique keeps the effort in the large muscle groups and prevents injuries. With my tennis clients, the number one issue is guiding them into fundamentals that prevent injury. In Pickleball and tennis that means turning your shoulders sideways on all shots, taking pressure off the shoulder, elbow and lower back. Also, this makes shots more efficient.
Turning your shoulders sideways on all shots? NOT really the game is mostly played with your feet parallel to the kitchen line. Keep your elbow in, your paddle in front of you. The object is to take opponent time away, not try to hit this passing shot, that takes all this time to setup.
I've been playing and coaching pickleball for 8 years, and from tennis 35 years. No injuries ever because I practice what we preach for injury prevention, which is doing a proper stretch and warm before, Every game, match and practice. Take care of yourselves people. Docs want money, feed your practice with proper technique, stretch, warmup, play. I have thousands of clients from Planet Pickleball who will attest to what we practice. Do it Right!
As a physio in Sarasota Florida, 30% of my patients are pickleball players. Many are new to the sport and like these docs say, they go 0-100 too quickly.
I educate my patients all day. I do all I can to try to keep people out of my office.
I loved it too! Last played on New Years Day for 3 hrs. I will admit I overplayed and did not stretch enough. I've been on the bench since w/ muscle that feel exacerbated - I'm not sure. Behnd both knees feels like Baker's Cysts, both biceps soar, often back of legs, groin and gluts soar (both sides). I've been taking NSAIDs :( to allow me to walk basically. Really need help figuring this out. Waiting on blood work. Knee X-rays came back ok... looking for direction.
I know a guy who played for the first time last Saturday. Wore wrong sneakers and broke his ankle. Surgery , screws and all. Younger guy too. I guess it can happen in any sport.
Your a classic Dr Paul you should have been a wellbeing specialist you make me fell better with your and Brads show .its hard to get a laugh when your in pain most of the time.😀👍
Played 4 times weekly for a year. Saw teammates fall, broken wrists , nasty injuries. After two years I fell going sideways and sprained wrist, hurt hip. Recovered, but then developed planters fasciitis which I’m still dealing with after 3 months. Bummer. 10:03
Thanks Gents🙏😉
In addition to the pickleball, can you create a video about common golf injuries and what golf centered exercises might contribute to injuries.
I play lots of badminton and never had knee pain. However when I started playing pickleball this year (as all my buddies have given up badminton) my knees are taking a beating . After the games I can't barely standup. I guess it is from all the pressure bending down getting those low balls.
Didn't know what pickleball was until I saw this!😆
I've heard of it but never seen it in action.
This is why I will never play pickleball.
The humiliation of getting hurt playing pickleball will always be much worse than the injury itself, no matter how serious the injury is
Ha, indeed. You would have to say you were doing the 'Ironman' version, or Black Run Pickleball.
Agree.
Before you get any snarkier, watch some pickleball matches on CZcams. You wouldn’t score a single point against a decent player. Now you can feel humiliated.
@@Liam_Maddog Blimey. Relax Jack. Only joshing.
Very tight ass comment !
There's a few young guys and girls who come into my gym and they are wearing the Crocs as they're doing their weight lifting
I did that. Unless it's a steel toe shoe the sandal is no worse than a running shoe.
Eye Protection is becoming more common on the PickleBall Court now. Sunglasses for play when the Sun may be in your field of view. I have started to wear polarized glasses indoors due to the glare off the court (gymnasium floor)
Nice new outfits guys 😊😊😊

I started playing pickleball one year ago, and each joint and muscle is taking a turn, either being injured or hurting.
How soon can I try pickle ball after total hip replacement? Posterior approach. I’m a 54 year old man and was/am very active. Swimming, stair master, walking, occasional tennis, push mowing the lawn, etc. I’m almost 12 weeks out from surgery.
I think the biggest concern is falling. My sister had a hip replacement last year, and then went on vacation 6 weeks later and she was allowed to do most activities at that point, but cautioned to avoid falling, so you could probably play if you can play a bit more reserved. Let it go rather than going for difficult shots.
I’ve heard people get injuries when players don’t stay in their own bubble of space and whack each other with the racquet. Crowded spaces with many inexperienced people new to the sport, can also make for a chaotic mess of movement in disorganized random directions causing collisions. To avoid injury make sure you play partners with someone who know where their body is in the space, so you aren’t accidentally hit. Pickleball is really popular, great topic. 🥒ball
Maybe they use it is used as an excuse TO whack each other with the racket!
My wife got the acute variety. It was horrible! I had to install shower bars, do my own cooking and wash my own laundry for weeks! 😅
Aargh, you poor sausage!
Pickleball Prowess: A Rhyme of Health and Success
In the world of pickleball, we've got the game,
But beware of injuries that could bring you shame.
From strains to acute pains, we've seen it all,
But with proper prep, you won't take a fall.
First, consult your doc, get the green light,
Before hitting the court, make sure it's right.
Train up, go slow, and learn the ropes,
Don't rush in too fast, avoid the slopes.
Hydrate, hydrate, with water in hand,
Keep sipping all day, just as you've planned.
Stretch it out, limber up, before you play,
Dynamic moves keep injuries at bay.
Once on the court, play with care,
Don't push too hard, be aware.
Proper technique, it's the name of the game,
Learn how to play, master the aim.
But if you're hurt, don't ignore the sign,
Take a break, let your body realign.
Don't exacerbate, don't worsen the pain,
Rest and recover, don't play in vain.
With pickleball prowess, you'll shine bright,
Avoiding injuries with all your might.
So hit the court with confidence, skill, and grace,
And pickleball glory will be your embrace.
I tripped over my feet, landed heavily on my ribs, that took quite a while to completely heal
Amongst the group I play with, there’s a hard and fast rule: no running backwards to try to make a shot. Just too easy to trip and fall.
Hey Docs, great segment, on Pickle ball, have I spelt it correctly?…..I want to burst into laughter, when I hear the “pickle ball” in the UK we call pickleds gherkins☕️🤣🤣I’m finally getting treatment for my rotator cuff, I know I should have seen to it a couple of years ago, but I let it slide. I fell, (was pushed) out of bed 5 weeks ago. X-rays showed nothing,but the swelling in of thumb & around the base of my thumb, was persistent. So I went back to A & E, I was referred for an MRI scan. It seems I’ve done something to my scaphoid bone, in the orthopaedic dept, they want to treat with injections,rather than surgery. I’m only 60 & wonder why I can’t have surgery. I’m relatively healthy apart from a full knee replacement of the left knee. As usual your continued info on all things bodily knows no , I mean who knew we were sgonna receive a full breakdown on gherkin ball🥰🥒⚽️
Love pickleball, but rules are crazy 😢lot’s here in Florida in winter and really growing in Ontario in summer.
I played professional soccer in Europe...Some minor injuries here and there but nothing broken or serious considering the sport....
I have developed a mild case of Achilles tendonitis AND
3 months ago I tore one of my peroneal tendons that go through my foot. I was lucky because WE dont need that tendon. No surgery.....But you get the idea.
ADVICE: You need to keep up...Go to the gym, lift weights, bike, swim, etc in order to maintain your body otherwise you are in for trouble.
Got smart. Found
hi-top street basketball shoe
Nice
Omg that's a sport aye? Bowling's bad enough, kidding! Enjoy the weather!
My physical therapist says they're treating a large number of pickleball injuries
NO running shoes! They’re not made for lateral movement, you’ll roll your ankle. Cross trainers, any racket sport shoe
Agreed
62 years old.. played sports most of my life injury free. Been playing pickleball for 6 months... 3 calf strains... go figure
Its a combo of tennis and racquetball
Eye protection is a must. And by the way, a partner is much more likely to hit you in the eye than an opponent. DON'T TURN AROUND!!
Have u talked about fibromyalgia?
I am unclear on what Dynamic Stretching vs Static Stretching means.
Dynamic stretching would involve a bouncing type movement. Static stretching is slower stretch and hold.
@@redhen689 thanks!
@@redhen689thank you for sharing your knowledge
That’s Florida’s National sport.
Not shuffleboard?

Good advice here. There are many benefits to playing Pickleball too, not just risk of injuries. It’s a healthy activity and great exercise, it’s social and is available to people from all walks of life with minimal cost to participate. I play with young and old alike and have made many new friends.
if i have a partner who sez they are out for the exercise, I just let them get the exercise while we lose and stay out of their way.
More and more players are now wearing protective eyewear
Hahaha, if I didn't play while injured, I'd never get to play! :-|
Fair enough
Think I'll just stick with eating pickles.
The less skilled you are the more you get injured. Running for every ball, banging into the fence. Also those who just go out for the exercise is your worst partner.
I'm 70 & have a arthritic hip that hinders my movement & can occasionally be painful. Do you think it's OK for me to try pickelball?
Do either of you play?
Weening said he has played 2 times, Zalzal said that he likes to play....
Should definitely wear eye protection
You may have a few aches and pains after playing, but it's not a big dill...
Folks do not stretch or properly warm up., at least the places where I play.
Yes straight to the game
😅
7 years still people don’t warm up wear proper shoes diving falling
The noise made by playing it drives people who live adjacent to the courts crazy. It's called the "Pickleball Plop" and it ranks with the most annoying sounds around. (A much more piercing sound than a tennis ball) Pickleball is fun for those playing it, but is a rude pain in the ass for everyone else in earshot.
🐈💨🥎
I see older overweight out of shape people playing pickle ball every day.
It's a good thing, but that's a recipe for disaster. They don't even dare trying tennis as it's a tough sport to play and they think that pickle ball can be a good match for them as its way less demanding. But a fall is a fall...
Bruised ego
I think it's amazing that pickleball has been around for 59 years and I've only heard about it in the past few months!🤔
My first thought was, what the heck is a pickleball! I imagined something that looked like a pickle.🥒 And what kind of racket would accommodate a pickle.😳
I've always loved those big dill pickles, I would always get one when I went to the movies.
After a while I was given a snow cone cup with dill pickle juice.
I found so many places where I could get a single dill pickle!😋
But I can't imagine a pickle being used in as a sport.🤯 It made no sense to me.
I'm so glad you explained this phenomenon! I'm also glad no pickles were harmed in making this video!
I'll probably never participate in this sport because I wear flipflops most of the year.🩴
I played tennis years ago. The last time I played, I sprained my ankle and had to wear a boot. I haven't picked up a tennis racket since then. In fact, I've never picked up any type of racket since then.
Even though the ball isn't shaped like a pickle, I can't risk getting hit in the eye.
Thanks for this enlightening talk about pickleball! Thanks but no thanks, I'm not going to try it.😉
Yup. Guilty. 68 yo female. Played tennis for decades…decades ago. Got out on the PB court, first time and it was awesome. I played for three hours. Made knee arthritis flare up for the first time in ten years. With a hypermobile patella, I’ve been sidelined and it’s so sad. I want to get back into it but I’m kinda scared. It’s all that side to side quick movements that did me in.
Thanks for this you guys 👍 good advice if I do take the plunge again.
yep few friends trying to get me into sure be fun no way knees could take plus i would have to start out as a newbie they have played a while said have to start slow i played hs tennis raquetball club and squash briefly didnt like.same a bit of pickle my dads school.had courts 80s but may try told ol boys need more time to phyically ready local craze has led to injuries on gal i played hs tennis had
Thanks guys! Great advice! And interesting how Pickleball got started.😊
