At PEAK Sport & Spine Physical Therapy, we're grateful to serve our communities every day — and now we have an opportunity to give back together.

We’re hosting a community food drive to support local food banks and families in need this season. 🥫

We're collecting canned goods and non-perishable food items at select PEAK clinic locations. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference!

📅 Food Drive Ends: Friday, November 14

📍 Drop donations at select PEAK clinics during business hours (check with your local clinic to be sure if they're accepting)

Thank you for helping us support our neighbors and spread some warmth this season. Let’s make a positive impact, together.

PT advice you might want to hear: 🎃
Those pumpkins look cute until you lift them wrong.

Here's how to keep it safe and pain-free this fall:
✅ Squat to lift — bend through your hips and knees, not your back
✅ Hug it close — less stress on your spine
✅ Don't twist — turn your whole body, not just your waist

It's not just about pumpkins—it's about protecting your back during all your fall activities. 🍂

Move smart, lift safe, and enjoy the season pain-free!
Dealing with back pain? DM us or schedule an assessment. 💪

Pickleball has exploded in popularity - and injuries related to Pickleball have increased as well. Our very own Ted Yemm, co-clinic director at Peak Sport and Spine-Crestwood, recently collaborated with the Translational Injury Prevention (TIP) Lab at Saint Louis University to find out why and what can be done to reduce injuries.

Together, they have conducted the largest pickleball injury survey in the world to date. The information gathered helped identify the most common regions and types of injuries experienced by pickleball players today.

Now, it's on to the second phase of this groundbreaking project. Using information gathered in phase one, a 5-minute warm-up program and recovery program have been designed specifically for pickleball players with the goal of reducing injuries and pain, thus keeping them on the court!

To read more about this study and find out how you can participate in the second phase testing our injury prevention strategies, visit our website here ---> https://peaksportspine.com/the-rapid-rise-of-pickleball-in-the-united-states/
