Injury and Pain in Pickleball? Relief From Kailo Patches Can Make a Big Difference

Sponsored by Kailo to keep OPP free for readers.

Pickleball is one of the most enjoyable ways to stay active, connect with others, and have fun…it makes our lives better in so many ways. But like any sport, injuries and pain are part of the game, something we want to avoid, but as they say “stuff happens”. 

So a recent study of pickleball players and injuries and pain was super-interesting, revealing that musculoskeletal discomfort (aches and pains), especially in the shoulders, knees, and wrists, is quite common among players of all skill levels. The good news? Many of these issues are manageable, and often, small adjustments or the right products can make a big difference.

That’s where tools like Kailo come in. Kailo patches are designed to help alleviate pain naturally, no medications needed, by working with your body’s own electrical signals. They’re a simple, non-invasive way to help you feel better and get back to doing what you love.

One of the big takeaways from the study was players with low-to-moderate perceptions of the importance of injury prevention were over twice as likely to sustain injuries as those who rated it highly. So if you think injury prevention is important, and take actions, you are half as likely to be injured. But as we said “stuff happens”...

When something does pop-up, science shows that when pain is reduced, not only does your comfort improve, but your ability to move freely and confidently also increases. For pickleball players, that’s a game-changer, literally. Whether it’s tender knees after a long rally or sore elbows from repeated shots, small pains can add up and impact performance. With Kailo, many find that they can continue playing and training without the discomfort holding them back. It’s about feeling good so you can keep playing and enjoy being on the court. As one reviewer said “I put the patch on after walking my dog, exercising or playing Pickleball. I highly recommend the Kailo patch!

It’s worth noting that injury prevention is always the best approach, but when pain does strike, or even just lingers, having a simple solution like Kailo can support your efforts to stay in the game longer. Because sometimes, the difference between taking a break and powering through lies in a quick, comfortable relief. 

As we regularly share, playing pickleball is about more than just the game, it’s about connecting with others, getting fitter, and laughter. Kailo patches can help you tame your pain, so you can focus on the fun, the shots, and the good times, without letting the little things cut your game short.
