Don’t Wear Running Shoes to Play Pickleball!

July 1, 2015 By Barbara Wintroub

Don’t Wear Running Shoes to Play Pickleball!

Time to get new shoes! Why? Because the shoes I’ve seen on the court recently are terrible and disgusting. How long have you had your shoes, six months, a year, four years? Dump them immediately. Maybe they don’t look worn out, dump them anyway. Shoes don’t last anymore. It’s the inner sole that breaks down […]

Exercises To Help Reduce Pickleball Injuries

Exercises To Help Reduce Pickleball Injuries

Recently I’ve run into several injured pickleball players. The first person blamed pickleball for her severe knee injury. BUT, she did admit that she played hard racquetball for 20 years and she twisted her knee dancing. Person two tore their ACL but admitted she skied for years. Person three broke her wrist running backward after […]

Improve Your Pickleball Posture

Improve Your Pickleball Posture

Have you shrunk an inch or more? Do you stand up straight or list forward? Have you had shoulder surgery? Does your shoulder hurt when you hit a high Pickleball? Age is not an acceptable answer, poor posture is. Take a look at your shadow or image in a mirror. What do you see? Good […]

Working Out Pain In Your Knee

Working Out Pain In Your Knee

This week I have had terrible pain on the outside of my right knee. So bad I couldn’t bend my knees to pick up the Pickleball. Oh boy, I thought, I’ve finally torn a meniscus. I decided to spend time stretching my IT Band before I see someone. The IT Band stretches from the hip […]

New Parts, Old Parts

New Parts, Old Parts

Getting “spare parts” for our body these days is almost as easy as getting spare parts for our car – especially when it comes to joint replacement. For many of us, without these “new parts” our body would most likely fall apart with how much Pickleball we’re playing. But there’s a problem, often we don’t […]

Pain in the Buns

February 1, 2015 By Barbara Wintroub

Pain in the Buns

Here’s a quick story. At my local optical shop the 20-year-old, six-foot-tall son of the owner was in terrible back pain. I put him on the floor, did some FST type stretching and he stood up basically pain free. What does that mean to you on and off the pickleball court? It means there is […]

Back Pain Part II: Pardon My Preaching…

Back Pain Part II: Pardon My Preaching…

I just returned from the Huntsman World Senior Games where back pain was running rampant. At our age you can MRI a room full of people and find similar back issues with all, but only some will have pain. My MRI doesn’t look all that good, but I bend every which way to Tuesday on […]

Stretch Your Neck to Release Your Shoulders…

October 1, 2014 By Barbara Wintroub

Stretch Your Neck to Release Your Shoulders…

I would love to get a massage every week, especially on my shoulders and neck. Unfortunately, I cannot. But what I can do is stretch my neck muscles to help release my shoulders. Sometimes it seems like all I am doing every day is stretching. Wait a minute, I am stretching every day. Maybe not […]
