Southwest Health Hosts Pickleball Injury Prevention Event

Southwest Health’s fellowship-trained Orthopedic Surgeon, Alexander Strassman, DO and Physical Therapist Breland Scharschmidt, PT, DPT, ATC will host a Pickleball Injury Prevention Event on April 18th at 5:30 PM at the University of Wisconsin Platteville’s Pioneer Activity Center. With the ever-increasing popularity of pickleball, more people are getting out and playing. With more people on the court, maybe playing for the first time, the risk of injury increases. Presenters, Dr. Strassman, and Physical Therapist, Breland Scharschmidt, will lead attendees through common pickleball injuries, activity modifications, preventative exercises, and warning signs of when to seek further treatment. To reserve a spot, interested participants can register at this link, SouthwestHealth.org/Pickleball.  This event is free to attend but registration is required ahead of the event.
