Many summer sports injuries and overuse conditions begin gradually.

What surprises many people is that the aggravating activities are not always as intense as Pickleball. Summer injuries often come from everyday summer activity, like: Gardening. Long hikes. Golf. Weekend home projects.

Repetitive strain often builds gradually over time, especially when joints and connective tissues are transitioning from a slower spring season into more activity.

Tendons are especially vulnerable during this shift.
