Physical Therapist Jenn Klee recently led two fun and interactive sessions at Covenant Pines Camp as part of a two-day Pickleball Retreat for Women. Her topic, Stretching and Injury Prevention for Pickleball, focused on helping players stay active and injury-free.
Each group brought great energy as they worked through stretches, learned practical pickleball injury prevention tips, and connected through movement. Jenn shared expert guidance on how to protect joints and muscles while enjoying the game — and the ladies were all in.
Whether you're new to pickleball or a seasoned player, Riverwood’s Physical Therapy team is here to help you stay strong, mobile, and pain-free. Physical therapy services are available in Aitkin, Garrison, and McGregor. Visit www.riverwoodhealthcare.org or call 218-927-5580 to learn more.
