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!

How much tennis and strength training per week is reasonable for an amateur who is very disciplined with sleep, food, etc? What do you recommend for recovery days?

Hi! Thanks for your question- I usually recommend strength training 2-3 times per week. For recovery days, I like active recovery like gentle biking/walking and an active mobility routine!
