Tennis Injury Rehabilitation
Tennis Injury Physical Therapy in Orlando, FL
Tennis injuries are overuse injuries as much as acute ones. The right PT finds what is breaking down mechanically and fixes it — not just the tendon or joint that hurts.
Request an AppointmentTennis Puts Unique Demands on the Body
Tennis is a sport of repetition and explosion. Thousands of serves, groundstrokes, and direction changes over a season accumulate load on the same structures — the elbow, shoulder, knee, and spine — until something gives.
Most tennis injuries are not bad luck. They are the predictable result of a mechanical breakdown that went unaddressed. Stroke mechanics that overload the medial elbow. A serve motion that compresses the shoulder. Hip weakness that transfers force to the knee on every split step.
The owner of this clinic plays tennis. We treat tennis injuries with an understanding of what the sport actually demands — not a generic upper extremity protocol.
Tennis Injuries We Treat
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylalgia)
The classic tennis injury. Overuse of the wrist extensors causes pain on the outer elbow. Responds well to specific loading protocols and technique correction.
Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylalgia)
Inner elbow pain from topspin mechanics and serve motion. Often misdiagnosed and undertreated.
Rotator Cuff Injuries
Serving and overhead strokes repeatedly load the rotator cuff. Tendinitis, partial tears, and impingement are all common in competitive players.
Knee Pain & Patellar Tendinopathy
The split step and rapid direction changes load the patellar tendon repeatedly. Common in players who train frequently on hard courts.
Hip & Groin Injuries
Hip flexor strains, labral irritation, and adductor injuries from the rotational demands of groundstrokes and serve.
Wrist & Forearm Injuries
Stress injuries from racket impact, particularly in players with poor grip mechanics or excessive string tension.
Back on Court — With Better Mechanics
Treating a tennis injury without addressing the mechanics that caused it guarantees a recurrence. That is why our approach combines tissue rehabilitation with movement analysis — identifying the stroke mechanics, positioning habits, or physical deficits that put the injured structure under excess load.
Tissue Rehabilitation
Condition-specific treatment to restore the injured structure to full function and load tolerance.
Strength & Conditioning
Rotator cuff, hip, and forearm strength built to handle the demands of your game.
Movement Analysis
Identifying the mechanics contributing to the injury — stroke technique, footwork, positioning.
Return to Play
Progressive return to hitting, starting with controlled groundstrokes and building to full match play.
