In this episode of the Sterling Recovery Podcast, Dr. Bill Hayes sits down with occupational therapist Alexa Peralta, a specialist in upper extremity recovery and a key player in helping athletes overcome the increasingly common and pesky "tennis ball elbow" (formerly just tennis elbow—thanks, pickleball boom!).
Alexa shares her clinical insights on treating elbow overuse injuries, walking us through why dry needling and neuromuscular stimulation are total game-changers. She also demonstrates stretches and warm-ups that every weekend warrior should be doing before they hit the court—tennis, pickleball, or otherwise. And it gets personal.
Dr. Hayes isn't just the host—he's (almost) a patient. His wife recently battled pickleball elbow and found her way back to the court with the help of Alexa and the OT team at Sterling Ridge Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine (SROSM). Hear what worked, what didn’t, and how the right therapy makes all the difference.
Whether you're a casual player or training for your next tournament, this episode is a must-listen for protecting your swing and recovering smarter.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
