From the Couch to the Court: How to Avoid Common Spring Sports Injuries!!!

Apr 30

The sun is shining, and Mississauga's courts and diamonds are calling! But before you grab your pickleball paddle or tennis racquet, beware of the hidden opponent waiting on the court: "Winter Rust." Going from a sedentary winter straight into explosive, high-intensity movements is the number one cause of early-season sports injuries. When your body isn't fully conditioned, it compensates—and that leads to pain.

Watch Out for the "Big Three" Spring Injuries:

"Pickleball Elbow": Micro-tears in the forearm tendon caused by repetitive swinging without proper winter conditioning.
Shoulder Impingement: A stiff mid-back from winter desk work forces your shoulder to overcompensate during tennis serves or baseball pitches, leading to pinching and pain.
Achilles & Calf Strains: Sudden, lateral stops on the court can easily overload unprepared lower-body tendons.
