Pickleball Fanatic? Tips For Healthy Feet And Ankles
Michael Fishkin
Certified Pedorthist
"When looking for good pickleball playing shoes, look at the soles of the footwear.
"The outside (rubber sole) should have flex grooves that are multi-directional to accommodate the movement of the game."
Dr. Rebecca Stack
"Warming up and stretching is key to avoiding injury. I see a lot of patients with Achilles tendon issues after increasing pickle and paddleball activity.
"Taking time to stretch the Achilles tendon and calf muscles can help you avoid tendonitis, tears, and ruptures."
Dr. Michael Lacey
"It's crucial to identify the type and location of your pain. For example, a severe sprain can lead to chronic ankle sprains if not treated.
"That's why it's best to seek medical attention for any ankle injury, no matter how small."
