Despite its name, tennis elbow is extremely common in pickleball due to repetitive paddle swings.
Why it happens:
Overuse of the forearm muscles leads to tiny tendon tears near the elbow.
Symptoms:
Burning pain on the outer elbow
Weak grip strength
Pain when lifting objects
Rehabilitation Tips:
Reduce playing time temporarily
Use a forearm brace
Perform guided stretching and strengthening
Consider physiotherapy for faster recovery
👉 Prevention bonus: Choose a paddle with proper grip size to reduce strain.
