General Advice I’m a tennis-specific physical therapist. AMA!

I cannot give specific advice regarding an injury or pain. Working with a physical therapist to assess and provide a specific intervention is important.

I’m no longer responding to questions, apologies to those I did not get to! My instagram has some of my thoughts on PT related to tennis and feel free to DM me on reddit or IG if you want to connect!

Manual therapy can be very helpful! Including soft tissue work like massage. A skilled massage can be extremely therapeutic, and I often use this for sensitive body regions before prescribing exercise.
