April is National Pickleball Month—a celebration of one of the fastest-growing sports across the country. At Fit Club NY, we’re excited to spotlight the incredible work we do with pickleball and padel players, especially at our DUMBO location inside Padel Haus.
Through our ongoing partnership with NYC Pickleball, we provide top-tier care at events throughout the city, ensuring athletes are playing at their best and recovering safely. If you’ve seen us at a pickleball event recently, you know we’re committed to keeping NYC’s racquet athletes strong, healthy, and pain-free.
Where We Do It:
At our state-of-the-art DUMBO location inside the Padel Haus, we work with athletes of all levels. Whether you’re a pickleball pro or just getting started, our expert therapists tailor their approach to your specific needs.
We also offer our specialized services across all four of our convenient locations:
DUMBO (Padel Haus) – For racquet sports athletes looking to enhance performance and recovery.
Astoria – Comprehensive PT services including pelvic floor therapy, strength & mobility training, and injury prevention.
Chelsea – Located 5 minutes from Penn Station, offering personal training, strength & conditioning, and sports massage.
Williamsburg – Cutting-edge treatments for all ages, with a focus on personalized rehab and training.
Why We’re Different:
Unlike generic PT clinics, we incorporate your sport directly into your recovery. If you’re playing racquet sports, your rehab and training are designed around the demands of your sport. Whether it’s footwork, shoulder stability, or grip strength, we’ve got you covered.
Additionally, our team of Doctors of Physical Therapy and expert trainers provide strength and agility training to enhance your performance and prevent injuries. From mobility drills to endurance training, we cover all aspects of your game.
Common Racquet Sports Injuries We Treat:
Rotator Cuff Injuries: From overhead serves to powerful volleys, repetitive shoulder movements can lead to pain and instability.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Overuse of the forearm muscles during swings and grips can cause pain and inflammation.
Achilles Tendon Strains: Fast footwork and sudden stops can place strain on your Achilles tendon, especially on hard courts.
Knee Pain: Quick direction changes can stress your knees, leading to pain or discomfort.
Our Approach to Keeping You in the Game:
• Sport-Specific Rehab: We create personalized programs that incorporate your sport’s unique demands. Expect exercises that mimic your play style, whether it’s quick lateral movements or explosive overhead smashes.
• Injury Prevention Training: Stay ahead of potential injuries by strengthening weak areas, improving mobility, and enhancing proprioception.
• Hands-On Treatment: Our team uses manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, and joint mobilizations to reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance performance.
