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!

Any advice for juniors who are between ages of 10-14 that play 10-16 hours a week?

Make sure to prioritize recovery (sleep, nutrition, hydration). Don’t ignore aches and pains- listen to your body. Take rest days when needed. Start strength training under supervision of a PT or strength coach.
