Show Notes

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America — especially with older adults. But with its explosive popularity comes a wave of injuries. PTs Diane Fleming and Kristin Walls join the show to share insights from their CSM 2026 session, covering:


  • Why pickleball matters in geriatrics AND sports
  • Common injury patterns PTs should be ready for
  • The SAFE exam and its use in screening athletic older adults
  • Advice for PTs pitching fun, nontraditional sessions
  • What it looks like when two PTs present... in costume


???? Includes a rapid-fire game: “Pickle or Pass”
