Stay in the Game Longer with Expert Sports Massage

Pickleball is fast-paced, high-energy, and places significant stress on the body. Whether you're playing for fun or competing at a high level, the constant lateral movements, quick pivots, and repetitive strokes can lead to muscle fatigue, joint strain, and chronic pain.

If you've experienced shoulder tightness from overhead smashes, knee discomfort from rapid footwork, or wrist pain from countless volleys, you're not alone. The key to longevity in pickleball is proactive recovery—and that’s where Elite Recovery comes in.


🔍 Key Muscles & Common Injuries in Pickleball Athletes

Muscles Most Used:

✔ Rotator cuff (serves, volleys, smashes)

✔ Quadriceps & hamstrings (quick lateral movements)

✔ Calves & Achilles tendon (pushing off, quick starts & stops)

✔ Wrists & forearms (grip, paddle control)


Common Pickleball Injuries:

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) – from repetitive paddle swings

Rotator cuff strains – due to high-impact serves and smashes

Achilles tendonitis – from rapid changes in direction

Knee pain & meniscus injuries – from frequent lunging and pivoting

Plantar fasciitis – from high-impact footwork on hard courts

 

How Soft Tissue Therapy Can Help

Elite Recovery combines multiple advanced techniques into one session to help pickleball athletes recover faster, prevent injuries, and optimize performance:

🦵 Neuromuscular Therapy (Janet Travell Method) – Releases deep trigger points to eliminate chronic pain.


💆 Myofascial Release (Tom Barnes Method) – Breaks up adhesions and scar tissue to restore flexibility.🦿 Myoskeletal Alignment (Erik Dalton Method) – Improves posture and joint alignment for fluid movement.


💧 Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder Method) – Reduces swelling, detoxifies muscles, and speeds up recovery.


🤸 Frederick Stretch Therapy (FST) – Deep assisted stretching to enhance range of motion and prevent injuries.


By integrating these methods, Elite Recovery provides a comprehensive solution tailored specifically for pickleball players.
