Ethan has been playing tennis for years, relishing the exhilaration and sense of achievement the sport brings. However, with age (mid 40s), Ethan began to experience aches and injuries that threatened to sideline his passion. Determined to continue playing, he turned to us here at Adaptive Physiotherapy & Massage and decided to consult Theo, our skilled physiotherapist.
Under Theo’s care, Ethan began a comprehensive physiotherapy regimen tailored to his specific needs as a tennis player. This included a series of targeted exercises to enhance his joint mobility and muscle strength, particularly focusing on areas most strained by tennis, like his shoulders, elbows, and knees. Theo also employed advanced manual therapy techniques to address Ethan’s tight muscles and ensure proper joint alignment, which significantly reduced his discomfort.
Theo introduced Ethan to sport-specific functional exercises that not only alleviated his pain but also improved his on-court performance. These exercise could be done in either our full training studio or at home. By incorporating elements of balance, agility, and coordination into his therapy sessions, Ethan regained his confidence and form. Additionally, Theo emphasized the importance of injury prevention strategies, educating Ethan on proper warm-ups and cool-downs to incorporate before and after his games.
Thanks to his regular sessions with Theo, Ethan not only overcame his physical challenges but also experienced a profound enhancement in his tennis play. He continues to enjoy the sport he loves with greater ease and less pain, fully appreciating the benefits of professional physiotherapy in maintaining his athletic edge.
