Pickleball has grown 223.5% over the past 3 years and boasts over 36 million pickleball players in the United States. Additionally, there is a 7.7% annual growth rate forecasted through 2028.
​
And with this enormous rise in popularity, comes an increase in injuries sustained by pickleballers. With pickleball being relatively new in the grand scheme of recreational activities, this means a lot of beginner/novice athletes are attempting to learn this exciting game.
​
Our pickleball athletes at Flow Physical Therapy and Wellness expect to perform at their highest ability at every practice, match, and tournament.
And as new athletes work to learn the skills and movement patterns required for a new sport, new injuries begin to occur.
​​
Common injuries sustained while playing Pickleball include ankle sprains, knee injuries (meniscus tears, ACL sprains, falling directly onto the kneecap), rotator cuff injuries, low back pain, and more.
​
Your performance is highly dependent on how you feel and move during your matches and practice, and this is where we can keep you performing at the highest level. Dr. Patrick played 4 years of Division 1 Collegiate sports, so he understands the importance of feeling your best, and avoiding injuries/managing injuries to perform at the highest level in your sport of choice.
​
And at Flow Physical Therapy and Wellness, we focus on our expertise - which is Osteopractic Physical Therapy, dry needling, assessing and correcting faulty movement patterns, injury rehab, and pain relief.
​
So whether your a new Pickleballer trying to learn the game and have fun with friends, or an avid Pickleballer looking to maximize performance, alleviating soreness, aches, and pain are essential to staying on top of your game.
​
Because settling for less than performing your best is not an option.

"I took first place in my age division this past Saturday and this morning I just did 60 pull ups (with kipping) as part of the workout today with minimal to no discomfort in my arms. Thank you so much for what you have done and helped me with. I greatly appreciate it.'" - Chuck
What makes FLOW different
One on One care with your provider
Every session will be one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy to ensure that you always get the highest quality of care. Your provider will never split their attention between you and another patient and you won't get passed off to aids or techs.
​
This allows for streamlined communication, quicker results, and constant reassessment and corrections.
Personalized Care and Treatment Plan
A "one size fits all" approach actually fits no one when it comes to physical therapy. This is why we offer personalized care plans that are tailored to you, your lifestyle, your availability for exercise, and beyond.
One person's treatment will never be the same as another's and we are always ready to pivot and adjust as needs arise to keep you on track to accomplish your goals.
Communication between your visits
We know that it can be extremely frustrating to feel like you can't have your question answered until the next time you see a provider.
​
When you work with us, you'll be able to send us questions (and celebrate your wins!) between sessions. You never have to wait until your next session to get in touch with us.
Price transparency, always
You'll never get an extra bill from us months later after you wrap up treatment with us. You will know what each session costs up front and an estimate of how many sessions you will need overall. We know that this is different than most other clinics and the healthcare system in general.
​
Price transparency is not only a promise, it's our standard.
