Your PT makes the exercise look so smooth and comfy during the demo… but when it’s your turn, you feel every muscle working. 💪

🌍 September is International Pain Awareness Month.
Pain isn’t always what you think… 🤔

⚡ Pain = your body’s alarm system.
It doesn’t always mean damage, sometimes it’s just your nervous system being extra protective.

Remember: Pain is real, but with the right approach, you can retrain your body and move forward.

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S. Players of all ages and skill levels are joining in—but with its rapid rise comes an increase in injuries and the challenge of how to prevent them.

We’re proud to share that Ted Yemm, Clinic Director at Peak Sport and Spine-Crestwood partnered with the TIP Lab at Saint Louis University on the largest pickleball injury prevention study ever completed! This nationwide research helps shed light on the most common injuries affecting players and what can be done to keep athletes healthy and active!

At PEAK, our mission is to keep you moving, performing, and enjoying the activities you love—safely.

Background Despite pickleball’s rapid growth in the United States, research regarding the patterns and predictors of injuries remain sparse.

Your injury may heal with rest…
But real recovery needs rehab. 🔁

🔹 Weak muscles (up to 40% loss in 3 weeks)
🔹 Longer healing time
🔹 Double the risk of long-term pain

You’ve come this far, don’t stop now.
💪 Early rehab = better recovery.

Stop searching for the one “magic” neck stretch… here’s what actually works instead ⬇️💡

When clients come in with neck tension, we don’t just stretch, we retrain how their neck moves and holds control. 💪🧠 It’s about reducing strain, improving stability, and building better movement patterns over time.

Here are 3 go-to exercises I use with clients:

1️⃣ Upper Trap Stretch
Perfect for those tight shoulder-top muscles, especially if you sit a lot or carry stress.

2️⃣ Chin Tucks
Tech neck antidote. Builds deep neck flexor strength and body awareness.

3️⃣ Ball on Wall
Press your forehead into a ball on the wall and rotate side to side, great for safe, supported strength and mobility.
