Rego Park, Queens is known for its vibrant, health-conscious lifestyle. Flushing Meadows-Corona Park’s trails are packed with runners, bikers, and rollerbladers. Local gyms, tennis clubs, and indoor golf facilities keep residents active year-round. But with activity comes risk—sports injuries are increasingly common among Rego Park residents of all ages.

Pickleball has exploded in popularity across the U.S. in recent years. With smaller courts, lighter paddles, and a blend of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong mechanics, it’s easy to pick up and addictively fun. But like any sport, pickleball carries injury risks—particularly to the back, neck, knees and shoulder.
