Kate Eckhardt Shoulder Pain Community Event

Published: February 6, 2026

Shoulder pain is one of the most common issues faced by paddlers—whether you’re a whitewater, slalom, ocean ski or flat water paddler. Join Kate Eckhardt, a physiotherapist and fellow paddler for a free community talk exploring why paddling shoulders hurt, how the shoulder actually works, and what commonly goes wrong. 

This session will cover paddling-specific shoulder anatomy, common injuries, early warning signs to watch for, and practical strategies for prevention, strength, and long-term shoulder health. Learn when to push through soreness, when to get help, and how smart strength work can keep you on the water and off the couch. 

Whether you’re a recreational paddler or competitive athlete, this talk will aim to equip you with tools to help you spend more time on the water.
