Tennis injuries Shoulder pain in tennis
The serve and overheads load the shoulder again and again. I treat tennis shoulder pain with hands-on remedial soft tissue therapy in Paddington, Brisbane, working the rotator cuff and the whole complex.
Why tennis loads your shoulder
Serving and overhead shots take the shoulder through a big range at speed, then decelerate it hard. Over a season that volume tells on the rotator cuff.
Rarely just the shoulder
Mid-back mobility and how the shoulder blade moves feed shoulder pain. I treat the whole pattern, not just the sore joint.
How the treatment works
Assessment
I take your history, watch how you move, and use orthopaedic testing to rule things in or out. Black and white: positive or negative.
Treatment
Hands-on soft tissue work, with real time on the table. I treat the whole area involved, not just the point of pain.
Education
You leave understanding your own body. A few sessions in, you can tell me what is happening and why. That is what keeps it from coming back.
Common questions
Can I keep playing?
Often with the right adjustments while we treat the cause. I will give you a straight answer once I have assessed it.
Is this a sports massage?
No. This is clinical treatment for a specific problem, not a general relaxation rub down.
Settle the shoulder properly
Book an assessment and we treat the cause, not just the sore point.
