Especially among men and women over 50 who love the competitive, social, and low-impact nature of the game.
But for many players, joint pain, stiffness, and knee problems are becoming a serious issue—making it harder to keep playing the sport they love.
If you experience any of the following after a game of pickleball, you’re not alone:
- Sore, aching knees that make it hard to walk the next day
- Joint stiffness that slows you down on the court
- Inflammation and swelling that worsens over time
- Aches that linger longer after each match
These are signs that your joints are under stress, and ignoring them can lead to bigger problems down the road.
The good news?
