The knee joint is often injured in sports. With the hip and trunk sitting above it and the foot, ankle below, the knee often has to pick up motions that it is not designed to do, such as excessive rotation and lateral motion. Some of the most common injuries to the knee in pickleball include Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee), Meniscus Tears, Knee Ligament Strains or Tears, Runner’s Knee (IT Band Syndrome), and Cartilage Damage (Chondromalacia). The constant stop-and-go movements, quick pivots, and frequent directional changes in pickleball put repetitive stress on the knees, making them vulnerable to knee strain and potential injury.
The key to rehabbing a strained or injured knee lies with the surrounding joints. In this video, the focus will be in strengthening both hip internal and external rotation, plus trunk rotation, knee extension, hip extension, and ankle strengthening. As we improve these areas, the knee will be less likely to get injured.
